Sea Lion Lyrics - Healthy Distrust - Sage Francis

The force of my love was strong 

The Sea Lion lay down long 

Song in the air, why should singer care? 

When singer can be among song 

Ma, ma, look what I did, ma 

Look what i did to my hands, I broke 'em 

You gave me the stone, gave me the chisel 

Didn't say how to hold 'em 

Didn't say to give away every piece of the puzzle 

Till I was left with nothin' 

But I took it upon myself to crush it up 

And distribute the dust 

Get in the bus, hop in the van 

Jump in the water, crawl to the land 

Build another castle out of sand 

Break it down and then get into the saddle again 

I'm going city to city, I'm already lost 

Tell the boss who is new in town 

I'll ride this horse till it it bucks me off 

And I'm forced to shoot it down 

I'll take him out for some gasoline 

Trade this cow for some magic beans 

Gonna make mom proud of the deals that I made 

'Cause I'm just a modern day Johnny Appleseed 

But I'm glad that I never passed the genes 

And I never put down the axe 

Piano man got a checkered dance floor to grace 

And a painful look on his face 

'Cause the crowd is packed and the louder they clap 

The less he is able to make the connection between what he sees 

When he hears certain notes and the hurt 

That is shown in his facial expression ah 

I don't need your "Go ahead" to go ahead 

No, I know no one said it was gonna be easy 

But sweet Jesus who wants to sleep with me? 

Too many moves to learn 

Not enough people to put 'em on 

Look it, mom, no hands 

I built this suit of armor with wooden arms
