Lambchop The New World Wave Lyrics

And Harry was a butcher
Loretta did the books
And Conrad was their only son
And I was born to be a clerk

I trained to be a teacher
But I couldn't find the work
I just wasn't cut out
I had some time to burn

And I must eat
And must taste
The show is over
What a waste
In 1929

To Harry and Loretta
A child was to be had
They called him Easy Buckets
My brother called him Dad

Not putting the hot dog in the bun for me
And there's one thing's gonna slow me down
Our sleeves drag through the mustard
Doing the new world wave
Doing the new world wave
Oh, Nashville
Doing the new world wave
Doing the new world wave
The scene is set
The stars are indifferent
Doing the new world wave
And I'm right here
I'm just not a parent
Doing the new world wave Wow, it just got moody
I got no spell to weave
No bedtime stories
For the unemployed
They say he sold his guitar
For a car

Time waited
You bring the ice
You must have missed the bucket
Well, how's that going down tonight?

We're on another planet
On another planet
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Oh goddamnit
I'm reaching out to you
I'm reaching out to you
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Recalling all the details
Recalling all the details
Of the new world wave
Of the new world wave

Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
Doin' the new world wave
