Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

Piece Of Dirt

Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today

Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away

I would climb the highest mountain just to jump into a fountain

Or to fly, I'd fly away

A woman's voice on the radio can convince you you're in love

A woman's voice on the telephone can convince you you're alone

But I set my sails so long ago they've revoked my sailor's badge

Said I should be content and happy on this ink spot where I stand

Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today

Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away

I find myself haunted by a spooky man named me

I wish that I could jump out of my skin
