Bartholomew Lyrics - Frank Black

Bartholomew 

How'd you end up in the coffee? 

Bartholomew 

Were you going down in flames? 

Was it a girl 

And did I hear you call her softly? 

No, this world of lunacy made me insane 

Once I lay beside a stream 

And I looked into it 

A dandelion next to me 

And then I blew it 

My life was scattered in the breeze 

I lay me down 

Won't you stop it with your talking? 

They closed the town 

Won't you let me go to sleep? 

Bartholomew 

I'm sorry for my squawking 

Bartholomew 

I'll let you go to sleep 

And I will lay beside a stream 

And I'll look into it 

A dandelion next to me 

And then I'll blow it 

And watch it scatter in the breeze
