Baby love me now that you are born   Oh! Baby!      Baby in your cradle look at me   Baby speak in rhythms now you’re three   Ride your German Shepherd ‘till you’re five   Baby think the TV is alive   Baby spend the night out you’re thirteen   Bending for a wish your candles leaned   Baby bang erasers and wash the board,   Think just yesterday you wore a sword   Watch your new years evening wash away   You’re on the floor, can you hear me troubadour?      Alvin row tangled in your broken kite   It’s hard to be Ben Franklin but,   Try staying against the light   Old clapper you can step inside   Accustomed to the rust your silver child   Alvin Row, we’re glad to see that you can’t fake it   White corn grow on every side   But you can’t take it, the yellow wardrobes suits you fine   Alvin all these visions smile   Let them do your makeup I know      Alvin Row, half of them are on your side   The other figments all are being completely unselfish   And all behind the right man here   My mind is not unkind it’s just not open   Alvin Row, I watched the mime cryin’ his winches   Brown black bag, we’ll let you be until you’ll fade   Now fade, now fade,   Now fade, now.......   Tired of reaching for the lampshade   Baby reading, baby love me   Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!   Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!   Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!   Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!      I told the baker’s daughter that I didn’t want the water   She only likes it when I beg, so I expect she’s waiting   I told the baker’s daughter that I didn’t want their water   She only likes it when I beg, so I expect she’s waiting   Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Row Alvin      I remember the day that I walked away from this empty flight   Cause the demons are really the ones when there’s nothing on   Would slip by when I’m silent I have to let so many people down   But the bell from the ice cream man comes to save the day      The winter comes we do not wander, I belong   The chocolate shakes, the sun awakes, I play ping pong   The autumn clouds distort and crowd the petal lawn   I pulled the glass it dripped too fast for second dawn      Since we passed through the maze as we unlock the stage of my other ride   I remember the shining, the spot on the day she played   Though I never knew Moses I know many noses with thoughts like me   Take a drive to the Jacksonville pharmacy and pretend      But a new apartment and a heart don’t make me old   This is spinal rage and lit a page and I’ve been told   But I’m walking on a wire with eight other eyes   Be sure to play the best of you eight other sides      I’ll stay shy, you stay shy   Dear Alvin   I’ll say bye, you say bye   Dear Alvin   I’ll say go, you say go   Dear Alvin   I’ll sing Row, you sing Row   Dear Alvin   I’ll stay shy, you stay shy   Dear Alvin   I’ll say bye, you say bye   Dear Alvin   I’ll say go, you say go   Dear Alvin   I’ll sing Row, you sing Row   Dear Alvin   I’ll say go, you say go   Dear Alvin
