Badumbump Song Lyrics
Badumbump by Nellie Mckay Two lost barrettes
Graze fireballs
Just bottle caps and dominoes
You'll never know what you have missed
You're all alone in the infinite
And I never mind anymore what you see
You're on to me but your sympathy is all wrong
I'm just a bump on the wall
A scratch off bet
Mere detritus
Some tossed cassettes
On needle tips
You'll never know what you dismiss
You're off again on your endless quest
And I seldom hear anymore what you say
You're tired of me and your shattered dreams are all gone
I'm just a lump on the lawn
You and me higher than the ocean breezes fall
And if life passes by the broken bear it all anyway
Carry me back to whence I came
To a place without a name
Full of puzzled aeroplanes
So strange, so strange
Hydrants jet, sweepers roar
Past party hats from discount stores
Loose cigarettes chase magazines
Sweet memories of gasoline
And I shouldn't care anymore what you think
You're over me and your shame and grief are spot on
I'm just a bum on the road
