This Ticonderoga

Lyrics

I met a man in a rock and roll band he said won't you come with me
 I let him know that I could not go you see I get mine for free
 We are all just soldiers in this battlefield of life
 One thing that's for certain is my burning appetite
 Step inside the emotional ride I could use some company
 Illusionary is so damn scary I call my best friend Flea
 This Ticonderoga is an element that shines
 Connected by the great unknown between us there are lines
 Yes I told her that
 I'm the older cat
 Can I scratch your back all day
 I would not have it any other way, well
 Means so much to me
 Can you see the we
 What are we ever gonna do when all I want to be is next to you
 I took a girl from the underworld and I held her way too tight
 When it's all been said and done she was not up for the fight
 We are all just soldiers in this open field of time
 Hoping to get with you when you get right with your mind
 It's my favorite
 So I savor it
 I must report that life is short
 So of your love I'll take ten quarts well
 There's no end to this
 Don't pretend to miss
 You and you would not repent for sitting on my elephant and
 Am I crazy to
 Join the lazy zoo
 All these human butterflies and
 Cactus flowers swollen eyes and
 I want the devil's share
 Of you I do declare
 Again I'm asking can I do
 When all these animals want to be just like you
 I met a girl with long black hair and she opened up so wide
 A daffodil growing in Brazil and I picked her for my bride
 We are all just soldiers in this epic loving flight
 And no one that I know has ever really done it right
 Done it right
 Done it right
 Done it right
 Done it right
 
 I met a man in a rock and roll band he said won't you come with me
 I let him know that I could not go you see I get mine for free
 We are all just soldiers in this battlefield of life
 One thing that's for certain is my burning appetite
 Step inside the emotional ride I could use some company
 Illusionary is so damn scary I call my best friend Flea
 This Ticonderoga is an element that shines
 Connected by the great unknown between us there are lines
 Yes I told her that
 I'm the older cat
 Can I scratch your back all day
 I would not have it any other way, well
 Means so much to me
 Can you see the we
 What are we ever gonna do when all I want to be is next to you
 I took a girl from the underworld and I held her way too tight
 When it's all been said and done she was not up for the fight
 We are all just soldiers in this open field of time
 Hoping to get with you when you get right with your mind
 It's my favorite
 So I savor it
 I must report that life is short
 So of your love I'll take ten quarts well
 There's no end to this
 Don't pretend to miss
 You and you would not repent for sitting on my elephant and
 Am I crazy to
 Join the lazy zoo
 All these human butterflies and
 Cactus flowers swollen eyes and
 I want the devil's share
 Of you I do declare
 Again I'm asking can I do
 When all these animals want to be just like you
 I met a girl with long black hair and she opened up so wide
 A daffodil growing in Brazil and I picked her for my bride
 We are all just soldiers in this epic loving flight
 And no one that I know has ever really done it right
 Done it right
 Done it right
 Done it right
 Done it right
