The life of a canoe
Is like a dripping faucet
It goes on


and on



and on




and on



paddle

(pause)



paddle

(pause)



drip


drip

drip

A flower blooming anew
Is like my broken locket
Opens up

wider


and wider



and wider


click

crack



shatter


splash



drip


drip

drip

Lace without a shoe
Is like fuel without a rocket
Slipknot

Slipknot


Slipknot again


drip

drip
drip.
