Why Won’t You Let Me Tie Your Shoe?
words and music - Gary Morrell
b. 4/6/23
Take me through
Tell me everything
Nice and slow
Try not to miss a thing
Nobody dies any more
Round here
Around here
There’s a glitch in the shiboo
Why can’t I tie your shoe
Why won’t you let me tie your shoe
Why won’t you ever let me through
There’s something standing in the way
It doesn’t know it doesn’t say
There’s more a’comin every day
They’re just suddenly here
So suddenly here
No one talks, but I hear
The shoe thing’s freaking me out
Why won’t you let me tie your shoe
Why won’t you ever let me through
There’s something standing in the way
It doesn’t know it doesn’t say
I see him sidle through the haze
Averting my gaze
Inserting malaise
He bends to wash your feet
But he’s tying your shoe
Why did you let him tie your shoe
I must have asked you twenty times
At least it’s quiet on the set
Don’t want to leave it all behind
Don’t want to leave it all behind
It’s time to leave it all behind
