Toes - Scotty James

Put your hand down, boy Welcome to my zoo Put your head inside My big black wild, while I can still help you See the snake-baboon Funky, chic, and smooth Honey, can you spy The divine ape-swine 'Cause he can see you I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted, too Five fingers, two black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright And all I ever want Is just a little love I said in purrs under the palms And all I ever want is breaking me apart I said to the thing that I once was I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers, two black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright To the left now, boy Underneath the moon By the thick tan sand And the tall thin grass One more thing for you See the distant flume In the sleepy dunes Makes my nerves clench close And my bones go cold When I see that room And all I ever want Is just a little love I said in purrs under the palms And all I ever want Is breaking me apart I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool My hands are twisted too Five fingers, two black hooves I'm a man, don't spin me a lie Got toes and I can smile I'm crooked but upright

The current is strong from what I've heard It'll whisk you down the stream But I never seem to have the time So my toes just touch the water My toes just touch the water I daydreamed on the bank again I was swimming with the fish And I thought this time that it may be true My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough To step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin To move Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough To step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin To move That spoiled sun up over there It always has to have it's way And I know that the river's there to shelter me My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water
