The Weaver Lyrics - Gingerbread Man - Residents

Run, run, as fast as you can 

You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man 

You can look, look, hard as you can 

You can't see me, I'm the Gingerbread Man 

Poor old family of man 

Never mind me, I'm just a Gingerbread Man 

Only hours away could be a man with a million dollars 

Only minutes away could be a guy with a gun 

Only seconds away could be a love that will last forever 

But if it gets away there might not ever be one 

In and out, in and out, in and out 

How many times do I think "in and out, in and out"? 

This color's not right 

It needs some more red 

Maybe it's the light 

Now I'm not sure 

I wonder where Ken is 

What's she doing? 

Ah, she's asleep 

He tries to help 

I know he loves me 

But sometimes he seems so out of touch 

And all he cares about are his words 

So old and tired 

I need someone to help me 

And what if that guy follows him? 

Last week he told me about that man who kept staring at him 

I can see him with his throat cut now 

Oh, why do I do this? 

I can see it all - school picture in the newspaper 

"Child savagely slain" 

God, I wish he was home now
