The Mother Hips - White Falcon Fuzz lyrics

I woke up in the middle of the night With the words from a song in my head I'd forget if I didn't write down I thought I saw someone standing in the shadows So I ran to the kitchen and I turned on the light And found a sharp pencil And I stood there naked in the light just a-writin' While the night burned black through the windows And my wife was sleeping I never thought I'd find myself at all Much less with a pencil For a weapon in the fifth dimension And thinking our love would last Is thinking that the part of our love that lasts Is gonna be the good part It's like throwing a rope from a boat To a man in the water who's looking like He needs a little helping hand Says he's not done drinking, "It'll be a little while 'Til the ocean runs dry, check back in a couple more months" Any legacy of mine's gonna be sunshine And I leave it behind as a sign of my love for mankind Hail hail, white falcon fuzz It's because of you I'm standing here Hail hail, white falcon fuzz I was thus transfigured And I don't know what the penalty is For thinking you can do what's left of what's never been done And if I never find out it's either 'cause I did it Or I tried and I failed Said, "Forget it" and walked into the sun Is that what the world is saying That your rock 'n' roll band can't last If you haven't got a really good singer? And you're finding it rough to get yourself across Getting lost in the white falcon fuzz If you are a good singer Hail hail, white falcon fuzz It's because of you I'm standing here Hail hail, white falcon fuzz I was thus transfigured
