lyrics

Head In The Sand Stan

Soon you’ll be lost in
the yummy party
Try a little, put it on your plate
I’m happy face at the bottom
of your dish
Eat to the beat of
Sir Mr. Steve Bunck
Dine a little on his 1-2-3’s

for every smile around gets
one big wish
What a good boy am I!

Head in the Sand Stan
likes to eat emotions
Swallows them whole with
his soul stuck deep inside
But when he flosses out
the words of doubt—
now the Sun’s in his eyes

Stan slaps a tune on
his white belly
Plays fiddle while
he burns away
He’ll disappear as the
daylight concentrates

See through the glue that
sticks to your eyes
Shake, then awake in
your yesterday
Carve out a marvelous statue
Call it Dave
Do you know what Stan knows?

In my downstairs room, I’m bored
with the one-track train
I can’t afford
In my upstairs room, I’m gold
(chorus)

Deaf-dumb and Tim he likes to grin emotions
Blind Lemon Ken he lets his groove unwind
Let them build a moat
so you can float
to the back of your eyes
to the back of your eyes
Dear Stan,
don’t you want to live forever?
(Only if I get to be in charge)
Dear Stan,
don’t you want to live forever?
(Only if my house is extra large)
Dear Stan,
don’t you want to live forever?
(Only if my wife is big and blonde)
Dear Stan,
don’t you want to live forever?
(Only if I’m buried in the pond)
