Picture Of Health

I've been thinking to myself

Aren't we just the picture of health?

The one you see through the window

The one where all goes well

At times there's nothing worse

than the beat of a struggling pulse

But in the pit of the stomach

is where I can always tell

Watch as the trees grow tall

We'll give them a face and a name

Build a fence to keep out the neighbors

But we'll dress our scarecrows the same

We've been thinking to ourselves

Weren't we just the picture of health?

But in the pit of the stomach

is where you can always tell

We'll sit and wait and think

Wander back to familiar surroundings

In the place where I should have grown up

And hung myself out to dry

Watch as the trees grow tall

Give them a face and a name

We'll build a fence to keep out the neighbors

But we'll dress our scarecrows the same

Watch as the trees grow tall

Give them a face and a name

We'll build a fence to keep out the neighbors

But we'll dress our scarecrows the same
