Well, I was walkin' on feet
Just like my father's
As my knees tried to reach you
At your mother's
My nose was sniffin' that you smelled
Like a lover
But my hands were havin' to treat you
Like a brother

we do the dance upon the plain
Shakey shakey shoulders
Down to the river of the noses in the night

Well I've given up lips and simple treasures
As I cross across your bends and I get pleasure
And I don't tickle your limbs
'Cause they don't matter
But you keep on movin' in bed
With my sleepin' patterns

we do the dance upon the plain
Got shakey shakey shoulders
Down to the river of the noses in the night

What's with all the changin' since the time I was aware?
It's like the apple-eatin' people of the worlds were all there
They empty out their pockets and they're facing other places
And you must be sure you're happy when you leave some places
Three little people sittin' in my cherry tree
But I'd be sad to be rejected from (a hippo with?) amnesia
Sail away forgotten and to touch was almost heaven
You'd be very happy if I touched her there
Three little people sittin' in my cherry tree
But I'd be sad to be rejected from (a hippo with?) amnesia
Sail away forgotten and to touch was almost heaven
You'd be very happy if I touched her there
I was very nervous how I felt in there
I was very cautious--won't you say hey there
Would you like to see me often?
No, you don't need to see me often
Because I'd like to see you often
No, I don't need to see you often

we do the dance upon the plain
Now shake your shoulders
And go down to the river of the noses in the night
