Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life is my friend
Rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon
Especially in Michigan
Well, I could be your friend
[Verse 2]
White clouds
I'm in a mitten for a fisherman
Come on, Huckleberry Finn
Show me how to make her grin
Well, I'm in Michigan
[Verse 3]
Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, yeah
[Verse 4]
(A rainy Lithuanian who's dancin' as an Indian)
(Painted in my tiger skin especially in Michigan)
[Verse 5]
Double chins and bowlin' pins
Unholy Presbyterians
Land is full of medicine
I find it when I'm slippin' in
(The tinted new librarian who fainted when she tucked you in) All into Michigan
(Float away like zeppelins on stoic gusts of northern wind)
[Verse 6]
Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck
[Verse 7]
Out on the farm we'll be swimmin' with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck
[Verse 8]
Life is my friend
Underwater violins
Order now from ho chi min
Porcelain that comes in twins
(Throw me in the looney bin 'cause I can take it on the chin)
When I'm in Michigan
(Cleavage of your pillow skin is movin' like a violin)
[Verse 9]
Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck
Out on the farm we'll be swimmin' with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, yeah
