Bloodbook On The Halfshell

[00:06.65] Rowing ringing cares a flinging
[00:08.75] As we ride this boat of hide
[00:10.28] All eagle-eyed and dignified
[00:12.22] Down the river across the great divide
[00:14.52] Words beside
[00:16.73] At the highest of tides
[00:20.18] With my bona fide bride
[00:24.13] She's my
[00:25.40] Touring guide
[00:27.32] And yes we both do reside
[00:30.83] On this riverside
[00:34.68] Where we hide
[00:38.37] Vacation's a lot of work
[00:40.46] But here we are with ringing bells
[00:42.49] And floating on this cockleshell
[00:44.23] My pal Grins
[00:45.17] Hugs the wind and sighs
[00:46.66] We realize
[00:49.15] With our blank minds aside
[00:52.53] Only to see the mystery
[00:55.85] Of many books floating free
[00:59.44] And those books are free indeed
[01:02.40] There's one caught in the weed

[01:19.01] Arms full of lonely books
[01:20.87] Freely collecting books
[01:22.59] We're getting funny looks
[01:24.29] While we are
[01:24.99] Stacking
[01:25.42] Organizing
[01:25.93] Filing
[01:26.78] Piling way up high and rising
[01:28.35] Dewey dusty
[01:29.24] Decimalizing
[01:30.00] Sorting
[01:30.69] Tracking
[01:31.02] Systemizing

[01:46.75] And speak with us
[01:47.50] But neatly packed
[01:48.58] And nicely put away
[01:50.26] What to do
[01:52.38] For I've heard they are good
[01:56.44] But we've also been told
[02:00.48] They can't be understood
[02:04.72] By simpletons like me

[02:31.35] Words of one who made the river
[02:33.03] Blood that's flowing through the soil
[02:34.64] I got books I just don't read them
[02:36.49] Cleaning scraps up from the table
[02:38.25] Flippin through with fingers pointing
[02:40.05] At the letter and the numbers
[02:41.67] Straining eyes and feeling better
[02:43.33] Wonderin how to be members

[03:00.54] And I'm turning the page
[03:04.76] While on
[03:06.32] Center stage
[03:08.92] It is starting to sink
[03:13.83] And I'm to the brink
[03:17.61] With my plans in pencil
[03:23.77] While the vision's in ink
[03:28.62] What to think
[03:41.93] My left brain tells me I'm a fool
[03:45.33] My right brain tells me It's true
[03:51.28] I only am knowing one thing
[03:55.95] I like hearing good news
[03:59.09] It's true
[04:03.34] And it's false
[04:04.19] Gonna cost
[04:05.47] Myself

[04:10.00] Gonna call my counselor now

[04:14.67] Clear confusion
[04:16.46] Then explain everything

[04:21.21] For now I got nothing to lose
[04:24.14] My brother
[04:25.63] Remembers
[04:27.27] A thousand
[04:28.71] I can't quote you one line
[04:30.25] But oh now
[04:31.98] I shall
[04:33.44] Know all of your ways
[04:35.09] With warm cockles in to my heart
[04:38.05] And dancing to hits
[04:39.66] And skipping around
[04:41.21] Around on unsinkable ships
[04:43.78]
