Corduroy - Elbows

Corduroy as a boy, old geezer fabricating joy

Stick thin and stuck in the mud

Early bird, never caught the worm, stay perched up in my mind

Longstanding of shortcomings

Shortcutting all my time

Old dog

Chasing a timeless tale

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Wasting time will tell

Who we become

Elbows on the table spinning fables from the cradle

Straight to the rocking chair

Wet blanket, draped it like a cape stand six foot eight

But still sixty-eight in my heart

Hard place from which to start

Old dog

Chasing a timeless tale

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Wasting time will tell

Who we become

Tall tales overcasting shadows on tomorrow

Far to go, so ahead a headache of my time

Fall behind, mummify the present ‘fore it passes

Old dog, go throw a bone, far-fetch to catch

Draw my portrait and plot my orbit I’m sporting corduroy 'til my corpse gives

out

Wondering one day will I ever find me a timeless tale, time will tell

Wondering one day will I ever find me a timeless tale, time will tell

Timeless tale, time will tell

Wondering one day will I ever find me a timeless tale, time will tell

Wondering one day will I ever find me a timeless tale, time will tell

Timeless tale, time will tell
