She Collects (stuff Like That)
It was getting to be difficult to walk
She was always so close but never right on
And the roads she chose to walk were narrow
Alleys with names
Hard to understand
Her head was dangling back and forth
She wished to lay it down
But it would roll away
So she put her foot down with care
While she leaned on everybody
So as not to fall
And they told her
The latest tattletales
"I collect stuff like that, you've got
To have a thing or two to tell".
She said
While her one lip fell down
From her mouth
She picked it up off the ground
But, when she was to put it
Back in place again,
The lip would fit no more,
The lip would fit no more…
She very rarely blinked her eyes
'Cause it just might happen she would miss out on things
So when she opened both her eyes up wide.
They popped right out
And rolled along
To see just the things she
Wanted to see
"I collect stuff like that, you've got
To have a thing or two to tell".
She said
While her one lip fell down
From her mouth.
She picked it up off the ground
But, when she was to put it
Back in place again,
The lip would fit no more,
The lip would fit no more…
Ela Coleta (coisas assim)
Estava ficando difícil de andar
Ela estava sempre tão perto, mas nunca no ponto
E as ruas que ela escolhia eram estreitas
Becos com nomes
Difíceis de entender
A cabeça dela balançava de um lado pro outro
Ela queria deitar
Mas ia rolar pra longe
Então ela pisou com cuidado
Enquanto se apoiava em todo mundo
Pra não cair
E eles disseram pra ela
As últimas fofocas
"Eu coleto coisas assim, você tem
Que ter uma ou duas pra contar".
Ela disse
Enquanto um dos lábios caía
Da boca dela
Ela pegou do chão
Mas, quando foi colocar de volta
No lugar de novo,
O lábio não cabia mais,
O lábio não cabia mais...
Ela raramente piscava os olhos
Porque poderia perder alguma coisa
Então, quando abriu bem os olhos
Eles saltaram pra fora
E rolaram
Pra ver só as coisas que ela
Queria ver
"Eu coleto coisas assim, você tem
Que ter uma ou duas pra contar".
Ela disse
Enquanto um dos lábios caía
Da boca dela.
Ela pegou do chão
Mas, quando foi colocar de volta
No lugar de novo,
O lábio não cabia mais,
O lábio não cabia mais...
