Goodnight Ricky Lyrics

Well you live free in the dream world

But you're waking up with your tail curled

You're on borrowed time

So find a reason to get up

There aren't too many truffles left to find

And the world tells you to toughen up your rind

So you thumb your nose to the morning breath

Pull a Jerry Lee on the cousin of death

And get in the groove

The circadian rhythm

The pillow is a paradise of hay

So close your eyes, get spirited away

Wallow in the weight of what is wrong

Can't finish a song

Dream of the day when you stood tall

At your birthday ball

Oh Ricky, goodnight

Oh Ricky, alright

Mary, Mark and Luke and me

Made some paper mache and we built a tree

And the petals dropped some pearls of pure wisdom

And beneath the roots some truffles could be found

Takes a runt like you to work this fallow ground

Wallow in the weight of what is wrong

Can't finish a song

Dream of the day when you stood tall

At your birthday ball

Oh Ricky, goodnight

Oh Ricky, alright

Oh Ricky, goodnight

Oh Ricky, alright

Wallow in the weight of what is wrong

Can't finish a song

Dream of the day when you stood tall
