Lyrics

[Verse 1] Like father, like son Not flesh, nor fish, nor bone, a red rag hangs from an open mouth Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle A-tumbling and a-bumbling we will go All the King's horses and all the King's men Could never put a smile on that face [Verse 2] He's a sly one, he's a shy one, wouldn't you be too? Scared to be left out on his own He hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with the ugly duckling The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes All the while in perfect time, his tears are falling on the ground But if you don't stand up, you don't stand a chance You don't stand a chance [Bridge] Go a little faster, now, you might get there in time Mirror, mirror on the wall His heart was broken long before he ever came to you Stop your tears from falling The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night All to see at night They come at night [Verse 3] In season, out of season What's the difference when you don't know the reason? In one hand bread, the other a stone The hunter enters the forest All are not huntsmen who can blow the huntsman's horn And by the look of this one, you've not got much to fear [Verse 4] Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening Come to match my skill to yours Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you Making noises my little furry friend would make I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack You better watch out, you better watch out [Bridge] I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away Walking home that night The sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder When suddenly, it stopped I opened up the sack, all that I had, a pool of bubbles and tears Just a pool of tears Just a pool of tears, yeah [Outro] All in all, you are a very dying race (Yes?) Placing trust upon a cruel world You never had the things you thought you should have had And you'll not get them now And all the while in perfect time Your tears are falling on the ground
