Lyrics
I Am An Idiom
a little bird told me
at the end of the day
all that glitters is not gold
all the tea in China
it's as good as new
whether you blow hot or cold
the blind leading the blind
it's a bitter pill to swallow
when it all come to a head
it's a blessing in disguise
to get blood from a stone
even when you're hanging by a thread
I'm as mad as a hatter
at the drop of a hat
all dressed up with nowhere to go
I'm all fingers and thumbs
all bark and no bite
at a dog & pony show
don't hold your breath
don't take wooden nickels
don't upset the apple cart
if I drag my feet
if I draw a blank
then let's have a heart to heart
I am an idiom
you are an idiom
they are all idioms too
we are figurative meanings
in common use
what we seem to say
take it another way for truth
I am an idiom
you are an idiom
we are all idioms now
we are figures of speech
we don't mean what we say
we hide behind a phrase
come on and join, we can show you how
it's a bit too much
when you're waiting in the wings
you can't have your cake and eat it too
you can lead a horse to water
but you can't make it drink
until you walk a mile in its shoes
when hell freezes over
or when pigs fly
just throw caution to the wind
you get what you pay for
you reap what you sew
until your ship comes in
I am an idiom
you are an idiom
they are all idioms too
we are figurative meanings
in common use
what we seem to say
take it another way for truth
I am an idiom
you are an idiom
we are all idioms now
we are figures of speech
we don't mean what we say
we hide behind a phrase
come on and join, we can show you how
