Eating Paper

[Verse 1] By now you probably have noticed And I'm so relieved To see while you have been leaving me be That my younger sisters and brothers Have all grown to be Stronger and smarter than you would believe [Chorus] But like all good things it did not last Your appetite returns so fast And just in time for supper [Verse 2] Why would would you sweat my confession What I claim to be When you see the fruit as is hangs on the tree [Bridge] While this may be the rare occasion Where high tide lifts all boats I'm keeping my head down under the water 'Cause man I've gotta get there on my own [Verse 3] I've done all you have required Still you feel the need To quiz me on books I did not claim to read Well alright John Henry dies in a tunnel Hammer in his hand Steam drill lives on to make fools of every man [Chorus] When I lived alone I did as I please Eating paper I swung from the trees But like all good things it did not last Your appetite returns so fast And just in time for supper
