Lyrics

[Verse 1] Old man Kensey wants to be a sign painter First, he's got to learn to read He's going to be a clown on TV Flags at his elbow, time to breathe (If that's my folly) I believe [Chorus] Drink up the lake Kensey's awake (If that's my folly) That's my mistake [Verse 2] Old man Kensey wants to be a goalie First, he's got to learn to count He's going to be a clown on a circus mount Letters to me signed, soft dark tar (If that's my folly) Kensey's going far [Chorus] John, Bill and Ed Stand on your head (If that's my folly) I'm ready to go [Bridge] (And if we save my soul [?]) If we miss a chance (And if we save my soul [?]) If we miss a chance (And if we save my soul [?]) [Verse 3] Old man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher First, he's got to learn to stand He's gonna be a clown in a marching band Letters to me signed, ransom, greed (If that's my folly) I believe [Chorus] Drink up the lake John, Bill and Ed (If that's my folly) That's my mistake Kensey's awake Stand on your head (If that's my folly) I'm ready to go [Outro] Drink up the lake Stand on your head (If that's my folly) I'm ready to go
