Mark Lenover - One In Six Lyrics
He'd tell his mother how toCatch butterflies in plastic tubesTo crush, crush, crush them into pasteBut now his neck-tie has himHe scours the newspaper for cluesAbout how his tails get tucked awayFor the day, every dayClickety-click-click-clickety-clickThis bastard's favourite threnodyIs five clicks and a bangA halting, reckless fantasyHe dreamt to chase the rain awayA dancing, dirge-ious, curious clinkOne wonders what his wife will thinkHe'll dance to one in sixHe remembers how to type,And when it's best to clear the roomHe remembers daddy's hand-shakeSlap-slap, you'll be a man soonHe wants to chill the watersHe wants to stew in silenceHe wants to play the victimWants to snap-snap the carousel shutClickety-click-click-clickety-clickThis bastard's favourite threnodyIs five clicks and a bangA halting, reckless fantasyHe dreamt to chase the rain awayA dancing, dirge-eous curious clinkOne wonders what his wife will thinkHe'll dance to one in six
