Aaron Cometbus - Between The Lions Lyrics

New York summer in a Hulk suit and big feet
Watching the young studs play ball on Delancey Street
There's an old, grey Jew who's playing with them
I said, "Damn, I wish I could be like that man"

Running up the stairs on 41st like Kazin
Plotting and planning like Trotsky and Bukharin
How can I fill the shoes of those here before me?
Where can I find a girl like Truman Capote?

In the park people gather together
Grouped like a squirrel gathers nuts for the winter
Some grouped by size, some color, some shape
Some fit in better out of place

Down on the courts, Maddalena and Zaggy
Me and the girl who writes novels on the other team
"See that kid? He's a student of mine"
I said, "Oh shit, I think I just crossed the line"

"I didn't even know you guys were teachers
Shouldn't that make some kind of a difference?"
Some grouped by age, some class, some shape
They said, "Some fit in better out of place"
Fuck yeah
