Avocado Baby - The Wave Pictures

When you came around

and offered nothing new,

nothing old,

nothing I could use.

I wondered when did you

give up on the way

we spent our spring days

constantly talking

finding our voices amazing.

You called me over,

though I drive you crazy.

My eye’s still as strong as the avocado, baby.

Though my hands start shaking in the second I awaken;

I am soft, and still, and lazy

and my tongue is on the run

and it’s only just begun…

Did you ever see a good joke turn so sour?

My tongue is on the run

and it’s having so much fun…

I’m growing younger by the hour.

I should wait until the spring,

wait until the spring,

but my carpet is crawling with crocodiles

and a dozen porcupines point their needles in my thumb.

Now, tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture

with a rolling thumb and finger…

Tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture

with a rolling thumb and finger figure…

You called me over,

though I drive you crazy.

My eye’s still as strong as the avocado, baby.

Though my hands start shaking in the second I awaken;

I am soft, and still, and lazy

and my tongue is on the run

and it’s only just begun…

Did you ever see a good joke turn so sour?

my tongue is on the run

and it’s having so much fun…

I’m growing younger by the hour.
