Tortoise & Hare

from Figures by Border House

/

lyrics

what got lost in the fire?
why does it not surround you?
I could never retire,
but this race isn’t fair
the tortoise and the hare

at this corner
I hope we’ll cross
otherwise not fast enough

settle down aesop not the time to speak
you took me to the store but there’s no receipt
I said how am I supposed to run when I can’t compete?
and I’ll arrive if she asks me

see myself at the lakeshore
somehow outrun the rabbit
just as I’ve become able
this ending brings despair
the tortoise and the hare

maybe monday
I’ll lose my head
and on tuesday
I’ll forget what you said

settle down aesop not the time to speak
you took me to the store but there’s no receipt
I said how am I supposed to run when I can’t compete
and I’ll arrive if you ask me

I’ll arrive if you ask me
