[Verse]
I've been stung by the rye
So I’m floating like a bee
Floatin' home on a world away
Things are clear to me
Spring is comin' back to the land
It’s only four degrees out but I feel it's true
[Verse]
I cannot find the moon
The stars are little pinpricks
Neither of us is wounded
Neither of us is sick
Oh, everybody's wounded
Everybody's sick, I say this
Neither one of us wounded
Neither of us is sick
[Chorus]
World gon' be so cruel to you
World gon' be so mean
I'm gonna
Catch you when you're falling through
I’mma throw you
Like a trampoline, ooh
[Verse]
Throw me like a trampoline
Skip me like a stone
Shake me like a tambourine
In a little baptist store front
Oh, you don’t know
All the punches I've been thrown
It’s all living to me
[Verse]
Dream me up a palomino
Put me down on that plain
I see there's a shadow
Moving 'cross the lane
Step into our time, daddy
Hurry, don't be late
I’m ready now
[Chorus]
World gon' be so cruel to you
World gon' be so mean
I'm gonna
Catch you when you're falling through
I'mma throw you
Like a trampoline, ooh
Ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
We've got some strength
We've got some spine
We've got some trust
We've got some wine, oh
We don't seek shelter
We just want give
Give us just a little time
Just a little time
Just a little time
Just a little time
[Chorus]
World gon' be so cruel to you
World gon' be so mean
I'm gonna
Catch you when you're falling through
I'mma throw you
Like a trampoline, ooh
Ooh, yeah
I've been stung by the rye
So I’m floating like a bee
Floatin' home on a world away
Things are clear to me
Spring is comin' back to the land
It’s only four degrees out but I feel it's true
[Verse]
I cannot find the moon
The stars are little pinpricks
Neither of us is wounded
Neither of us is sick
Oh, everybody's wounded
Everybody's sick, I say this
Neither one of us wounded
Neither of us is sick
[Chorus]
World gon' be so cruel to you
World gon' be so mean
I'm gonna
Catch you when you're falling through
I’mma throw you
Like a trampoline, ooh
[Verse]
Throw me like a trampoline
Skip me like a stone
Shake me like a tambourine
