Trout Heart Replica

They've been circling They've been circling Since the day they were born It's disturbing How they're circling Fifty feet from the pond Pretty often Pretty often I don't want to be told It's a problem It's a problem It's a problem i know And i won't keep what i can't catch in my bare hands without a net It's hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequences They've been jerking They've been jerking In a pail by the dock I know that oxygen might Make them blossom and die But i'm not going to talk Feed them details Feed them emails They'll eventually grow But it's not working It's not working Not as far as i know And killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the hardest part And when the wizard gets to me i'm asking for a smaller heart And i got you I thought that i got you Now i'll ruin it all Feeling helpless Acting selfish Being human and all And they're jumping And they're jumping But they'll never get out Just keep touring Just keep on ignoring Be a good little trout And the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block He raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromise WAIT we'll trade you WAIT Please just one more day And then we'll go with no complaining No complaining No complaining No complaining Stop Come And they're cutting And they're cutting And i think that i know And they're gutting And they're gutting And i think that i know And it's beating Look, it's beating And i don't want to know And it's beating LOOK, ITS STILL BEATNG God i don't want to know And killing things is not so hard It's hurting that's the hardest part And when the wizard gets to me I'm asking for a smaller heart And if he tells me "no" I'll hold my breath until i hit the floor Eventually i'm know i'm doomed To get what i am asking for... ...now my heart is exactly the size Of a six-sided die cut in half Made of ruby red stained glass Can i knock you unconscious as long as i promise I'll love you and i'll make you laugh? Now my heart is exactly the size Of a six-sided die cut in half Made of ruby red stained glass Can i knock you unconscious as long as i promise I'll love you and i'll make you laugh?
