Metrognome

Verse:
Standing in line
About three feet tall
He's fifty-seven pounds
With his boots and all
You pay him that token
You're taking that ride
Ride on the train
To the other side
There's less of the laughter
There's more of the pain
Down at the station
There's more of the same
Sir Daniel is waiting
Miguel's there too
You know that life's worth living

Chorus:
He's short, stumpy, chunky
And his shoes are made of foam
Standing in line at the subway honey
He's the metrognome
He's at fat, funky, junky
And he's strung out from the road
See him doing lines in the bathroom honey
He's the metrognome

Chorus:

And his shoes are made of foam
Standing in line at the subway honey

He's at fat, funky, junky
And he's strung out from the road
See him doing lines in the bathroom honey
He's the metrognome
