lyrics

The broken trees in the river look like dinosaur bones
Or the toothpicks of a giant, cast down from his cloudy home
The ducks gather to socialize as I observe alone

I want to make friends with a brontosaurus in prehistoric days
I want to be Jack of the beanstalk with a goose laying golden eggs
Can I come to your party? I ask those friendly ducks
After beatin’ around the bush the answer’s always
You’re not one of us

Enough staring out the window, I’ve got to get back to work
There is silverware to polish and money to be earned
Goodbye Mississinewa, hello cigar smoke
The more I see of that river the more this place looks like a joke


I want to make friends with a brontosaurus in prehistoric days
I want to be Jack of the beanstalk with a goose laying golden eggs
Can I come to your party? I ask those friendly ducks
After beatin’ around the bush the answer’s always
You’re not one of us
