Old Man Kensey Songtext

[Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe/Ayers]

Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter
First he's got to learn to read
He's gonna be a clown on TV
Flags at his elbow, time to breath
[That's my folly] I believe

Drink up the lake, Kensey's away
[That's my folly] That's my mistake

Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie
First he's got to learn to count
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount
Letters to me signed in sopped up tar
[That's my folly] Kensey's going far

John, Bill and Ted, stand on your head
[That's my folly] I'm ready to go

If you see myself, I see you
If you see myself, I see you [If we missed the chance]
! f?phscslgeffpm
If you see myself, I see you [If we missed the chance]
! f?phscslgeffpm

Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher
First he's got to learn to stand
He's gonna be a clown in a marching band
Letters to me signed ransom greed
[That's my folly] I believe

Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ted,
[That's my folly] That's my mistake
Kensey's away, stand on your head
[That's my folly] I'm ready to go
Drink up the lake, stand on your head
[That's my folly] I'm ready to go
