Jumping Beans Songtext
BOXED INTO THE BOX ROOM
OF A SEMI-D
FROM THE SITTING ROOM DOWNSTAIRS
THE SOUND OF DAYTIME TV
ON A FABRIC SOFTENED EIDERDOWN
HALF ASLEEP
IN THE MAGNOLIA KITCHEN
OF THE REHEATS
A KETTLE CLICKS
A TIMER BEEPS
FAD GADGET KEPT PRISTINE
TABLES AREN'T FOR ELBOWS
AND THERE IS PLASTIC
ON THE SUITE

DRIBS AND DRABS
BITS AND PIECES
WON'T RECEIVE
THE FULL FUTURE
WAIT AND SEE
WHERE THE STREET
LEADS TO
DRIBS AND DRABS
BITS AND PIECES

OH DO COME IN
OH DO WIPE YOUR FEET
WATCH MY MOTHERS PORCELAIN RUNAWAYS
FISHING FROM A STREAM
AND THE BOY WITH A BAD CASE
OF THE JUMPING BEANS
DANCING IN THE LIGHT
THAT HITS THE PORTRAIT
OF THE BLESSED PADRE PIO

STICKY WITH THE DRIZZLE
FROM AN ORANGE PEEL
ENTERTAINED
BY MAGNETIZING
TINY SHARDS OF STEEL
COMING OVER
ALL ELBOWS AND KNEES
DANCING WITH A PORTRAIT
OF THE BLESSED
BRENDAN BEHAN
