"Hold It Like An Egg" lyrics

"Hold It Like An Egg"

Drop that
Thing in my palm
And I'll hold it
Like an egg
Careful
It's fragile
You must chain it
By the leg

And if you
Can tame it
Finally
Unchain it
You have
Done something
That I can't
That sure
Would be something

Slip that
In your pocket
Don't crush it
Against your leg
Careful
It's expensive
You must treat it
Like an egg

And if you
Can train it
Not to
Hurt the children
You have
Done something
That I can't
That sure
Would be something

[?]

If we
Took our thing and
Went and sat down
By the sea
Would there
Still be something
Left of you and
Left of me?

If you
Help me train it
Finally
Unchain it
You have
Done something
That I can't
That sure
Would be something
