Poke Along Slowly

[Verse 1]
Wait up, you hurry
Poke along slowly
Drive slow, your hastiness down
Move your eyes left to right
Flounder them, flap about
Come on, keep up with the game

[Verse 2]
Rain smashes the tin roof like orchestra cymbals
The pine forest whistles and whirls
Play it like paper cups flying around on the wind

[Chorus 1]
The candlelight flickers and catches the air
The wax turns to liquid, the flares
Where once words were spoken, they fall and collapse on the ground
Where they fossick around, they fossick around

[Chorus 2]
So where there's a heart, in this town where we live
With the laughing clowns, they are laughing with you
Where the drunk men are singing "The candyman can and he does"

[Verse 3]
The record is over, the player is scratching
The back door latched open, it closes and bends
We're getting distracted, and finally forget where we are

[Outro]
So wait up, you hurry
Poke along slowly
Drive slow, your hastiness down
Move your eyes left to right
Flounder them, flap all around
Keep up with the game
