Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Babydoctor Lyrics

(BABYDOCTOR - Three ways of staring at the sun)

Thank you Thank you Babydoctor
Babydoctor Thank you
And you count out the years you have been here
in this foreign land
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Fourteen years Here Jalal Jalal Babydoctor
And you cound out the years you've been deprived
the use of your hand
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Thirteen years Stroke
Straggering walker it takes you two lights
to cross the street
Traffic is backed-up here at the place
where cars and people meet
The very fast and the very slow
Beg for a ride and choke out a stream of words as I drive
A mantra of thanks and counting out years that buries me alive
In the light of your humble and proud handful of
mispronounced words
And I fall to my knees in the shade of a tree and
cry Thank you

I look into the sun until it blinds me
I look into the sun until I go blind
I am raped by the light of the light until I am the
son of the sun
I am replaced

Hail and praise the all-seeing eye of Pelton & Crane
I open my mouth to the all-seeing eye of Pelton & Crane
Pelton & Crane I am replaced
Thank you
