[Intro]
"How do you catch a unique rabbit"
"How?"
"Unique up on him"
"Ohhhh"
"How do you catch a tame rabbit"
"How?"
"The tame way, unique up on it"
"Ohhhh"
[Verse 1]
Well he's out of season, out of sync
Oh lord, what must his family think
And you must be getting his feathers wet
Well, she always seems to be the talk
Until she drops him like a rock
Yeah, you should've been a better friend to him
[Verse 2]
I dusted all the bones out of my yard
I fixed the screen door, razed the barn
But still you call me from the moon every single afternoon
Tell me all about the astronauts you've comе to love
And how the earth looks from abovе
And how I should've been a better friend to you
[Chorus]
I've never seen life as a chore, a treasure for to find
I've read the news, abused the booze and often wondered why
My smile remains though thinking pains the average passer-by
They'll sink like stones into their homes away from teeth like mine
[Verse 3]
Yeah and so I came to hate my skin
And all the holes you'd hidden in
The day you let my legs waltz the weeks away, by your side
When you should've been a better friend of mine
[Verse 4]
Cause' I saw in you a brand new bird
The song of which I'd never heard
A melody so fine the entire world would pine
A tune to give the boys the blues
And turn the horses into glue
I should've been a better friend to you
Should've been a better friend to you
[Chorus]
But I've never seen life as a chore, a treasure for to find
I've read the news, abused the booze and often wondered why
My smile remains though thinking pains the average passer-by
They'll sink like stones into their homes away from teeth like mine
"How do you catch a unique rabbit"
"How?"
"Unique up on him"
"Ohhhh"
"How do you catch a tame rabbit"
"How?"
"The tame way, unique up on it"
"Ohhhh"
[Verse 1]
Well he's out of season, out of sync
Oh lord, what must his family think
