Lyrics...

Thomas Sang:

The nights were cold
We trudged up hill both ways in the snow
with the whale oil smoke in your eyes
We felt so old
Watching clowns and lovers play
and sing ungodly hours away
'til I was raging blind
and nearly lost my mind

But then Thomas sang
mary had a little lamb
The tubes set his voice to grooves
And it was crushed to bits

Thomas
Sang Mary Had a Little Lamb
those magnetic ones and o's
Just barely saved my mind

So long to paper scrolls
Gershwin's robotic ghost
So long to chamber choirs
Sitting by the fire
with my one true love
Sipping coffee and listening
To an indian man
cough feathers into his hand

Thomas
Sang Mary had a little lamb
The tubes set his voice to grooves
And it was crushed to bits

Thomas
Sang Mary had a little lamb
those magnetic ones and o's
just barely saved my mind.
