She Collects (stuff Like That)
It was getting to be difficult to walk
She was always so close but never right on
And the roads she chose to walk were narrow
Alleys with names
Hard to understand
Her head was dangling back and forth
She wished to lay it down
But it would roll away
So she put her foot down with care
While she leaned on everybody
So as not to fall
And they told her
The latest tattletales
"I collect stuff like that, you've got
To have a thing or two to tell".
She said
While her one lip fell down
From her mouth
She picked it up off the ground
But, when she was to put it
Back in place again,
The lip would fit no more,
The lip would fit no more…
She very rarely blinked her eyes
'Cause it just might happen she would miss out on things
So when she opened both her eyes up wide.
They popped right out
And rolled along
To see just the things she
Wanted to see
"I collect stuff like that, you've got
To have a thing or two to tell".
She said
While her one lip fell down
From her mouth.
She picked it up off the ground
But, when she was to put it
Back in place again,
The lip would fit no more,
The lip would fit no more…
Ella Colecciona (cosas así)
Estaba empezando a ser difícil caminar
Siempre estaba tan cerca pero nunca justo en el punto
Y los caminos que elegía para andar eran estrechos
Callejones con nombres
Difíciles de entender
Su cabeza se balanceaba de un lado a otro
Deseaba recostarla
Pero rodaría lejos
Así que puso su pie con cuidado
Mientras se apoyaba en todos
Para no caer
Y le decían
Los últimos chismes
"Colecciono cosas así, tienes
Que tener algo que contar".
Dijo
Mientras su labio caía
De su boca
Lo recogió del suelo
Pero, cuando intentaba
Volver a colocarlo
El labio ya no encajaba,
El labio ya no encajaba...
Casi nunca parpadeaba
Porque podría perderse cosas
Así que cuando abrió bien los ojos.
Salieron disparados
Y rodaron
Para ver solo las cosas que
Quería ver
"Colecciono cosas así, tienes
Que tener algo que contar".
Dijo
Mientras su labio caía
De su boca.
Lo recogió del suelo
Pero, cuando intentaba
Volver a colocarlo
El labio ya no encajaba,
El labio ya no encajaba...
