Lyrics
Sitting with the baby in a garbage can
could this be some kind of mistake? We
scrutinize the wrappers for some tired facts
which we read in alternate ways. Oh
Baby starts to giggle as he reaches for
a plastic package of soup.
In the garbage light and in garbage air
its meaning's blatently clear. Oh
Soup is from the can, and the can is from the
shelf
and the shelf just sits there and waits - for
another weekly trip to the grocery store
for food for baby and me. oh
(inst)
Baby, baby, baby's in the sea
swimming with the porpoises for you and me
Baby, baby, baby's in the sky
flying with the sparrows up so very very high
(inst)
Someone takes the lid from the garbage can
we blink our eyes at the light
Baby starts to laugh at the startled looks
of the garbage men as they stare. Oh
Baby takes my hand as we run away
to a place just babies know - where
sound is in the air of the buzzing bees
and fluffy mountains to climb. Oh
(inst)
Baby, baby, baby's on the ground
climbing fluffy mountains the long way round
Baby, baby, baby's out of sight
doing secret baby things in babylike delight
Baby, baby, baby's in the sea
swimming with the porpoises for you and me
Baby, baby, baby's in the sky
flying with the sparrows up so very very high
