see the man with the dirty hat
swallowed a forest branch by branch
ten thousand splinters and his bleeding hands
ten thousand splinters and a bleeding man
been around on a miracle mile
been searching faces for your lovely smile
come on, baby, get your gettin bag
come on, baby, join the battering ram
its got ten fingers and no backup plan
buried its heart in the stretchy ground
ten thousand splinters and a bleeding man
ten thousand splinters and a battering ram
when the winter went away
and snow gave way to grasses
a shovel and a hole somewhere
a love that is elastic
don't wanna live in a neighborhood
just wanna live in a jungle
we're gonna build a battering ram
we're gonna need a helping hand
its got ten fingers and no backup plan
buried its heart in the stretchy ground
ten thousand splinters and a bleeding man
ten thousand splinters and a battering ram
saw the man with the wooden leg
sitting next to a fire
ten thousand splinters scattered round the camp
ten thousand splinters and a battering ram
its got ten fingers and no backup plan
buried its heart in the stretchy ground
ten thousand splinters and a bleeding man
ten thousand splinters and a battering ram
ten thousand splinters and a battering ram
ten thousand splinters and a battering ram
