Chimney Sweeping Man Songtext
I′m a, I'm a, I′m a, I'm a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I planted all the gardens
I sent off all the hand-typed letters to the empty shells on high
How I want to make things better, I want to make things better
Maybe you thought I'd be president
With my Cheshire grin, high I.Q.
And charming baby blues
Well, I′m a lowland forest resident
With lime in the outhouse
And black grime for tattoos
I try to make things better
I try to make things mine
I write a lot of letters to pass the time
I pulled three hundred rocks
From the land to build my house
I walk quiet through the forest like a tiny quiet forest mouse
′Cause I'm a, I′m a, I'm a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
In the backs, on the backs of my hands
I'm a, I′m a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I′m a, I′m a, I'm a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I'm a, I′m a, I'm a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I'm a, I'm a, I′m a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I planted all the gardens
I sent off all the hand-typed letters to the empty shells on high
How I want to make things better, I want to make things better
Maybe you thought I'd be president
With my Cheshire grin, high I.Q.
And charming baby blues
Well, I′m a lowland forest resident
With lime in the outhouse
And black grime for tattoos
I try to make things better
I try to make things mine
I write a lot of letters to pass the time
I pulled three hundred rocks
From the land to build my house
I walk quiet through the forest like a tiny quiet forest mouse
′Cause I'm a, I′m a, I'm a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
In the backs, on the backs of my hands
I'm a, I′m a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I′m a, I′m a, I'm a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I'm a, I′m a, I'm a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
I'm a, I'm a, I′m a, I′m a chimney sweeping man
You see the black lines
On the backs, on the backs of my hands
