Lyrics
There was a man with a wooden leg
He didn't like to swim, instead
He liked to sail at night, to sail at sea, and so you see
His troubles ceased
He would up and seize the day and wouldn't have it any other way
He wasn't big on God, but he sure did like to pray
I asked him if he lost his mind, he said
I don't know but I think that I'm fine
But the funny thing about this life
It's like a reckless child
Playing with a knife
So it's kind of hard to be surprised
When it all goes wrong
He asked me if I'd sing him a song
There was a girl with a crooked smile
She didn't like to think, instead
She liked to dream, and live
She only did what she pleased
She had a favorite number
It was three
And she didn't like rules
She liked facts, and she asked me
She asked me if I lost my mind
I said I'm not sure but I think that I'm fine
But the funny thing about this life
It's like catching butterflies at night
So it's kind of hard to be surprised
When it all goes wrong
She asked me if I'd sing her a song
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
If I were to think and if I were to swim
Would I still be the same
the same
the same?
I wonder if I lost my mind
I don't know but I think that I'm fine
The funny thing about this life
It's like ships passing in the night
So it's kind of hard to be surprised
When it all goes wrong
I'll just be here singing a song
