In the Corner Dunce - Aleka's Attic

There’s a hole in my hat,

shows a near miss grazing my scalp,

and my hand are the only injuries

I’ll stand if I can

When I fall forget me

Will you respond if I float in?

Yes, welcome me back with a marching band

There’s a hole in the ozone,

So life’s worth giving up and when I do, now, won’t you please forgive me

It’s not that I’ve lost

'Cause in a way, well, I’ve been winning.

Will you respond if I limp in?

Welcome me back with a marching band.

There’s part of you that can’t help but to see right through this part of me,

and so when I go around round and I hit the town,

and when I can’t be found, then you wait for sounds.

Well it’s over you, you’re under me, and if it’s the way it should be then I

won’t bother

Your point of view is the point in me

So when you hear a loud sound it means I’m back from town

Now all this night is on my side.

Ooh like a sitting duck, floating like a swan then flying like a dove

Ooh, la, like a sitting duck,

floating like a swan and it’s all afterthought.

There’s a toll at the bridge

If I pay I’m giving in

and if I don’t then I could always swim it

With wings I could fly and avoid the risk of sinking

Will you respond if I float in?

By now I’ve forgotten how to use my fins

There’s a part of you that can’t help but to see right through this part of me

And so when I go around round and I hit the town

and when I cant be found found then you wait for sounds

Well it’s over you, you’re under me, and if it’s the way it should be then I

won’t bother

Your point of view is the point of me died

And when you hear a loud sound that means I’m back from town now

I rarely get to feel, you know, I hardly ever feel in place

Like a sitting duck, floating like a swan then flying like a dove.

Ooh, la la, it’s my faulty love

In the corner like a dunce it’s all self conscious thought
