Two People at Once

The bishop in our town
He calls a friend round
And after they stroll 'round the garden
Someone has been assigned
To rake where they walked a line
So nothing is left behind tomorrow

He tries to be two people at once
He says he is two people at once
He cannot be two people at once

Now I'm in the same boat
Trying to stay afloat
But chances are so remote I'm sinking
I'm walking a thin line
Measured in half time
It's hard not to fall behind completely

I've tried to be two people at once
It's hard to be two people at once
I cannot be two people at once

So goodbye, heading' out somewhere
So long, calling home once more
I know every step I take
How far to carry the moment?
How close to picking up pieces?
I feel every mistake I made

The people in our town
They tend to look down
So, stories can fly 'round forever
