Beetle on My Thumb (Unplugged)

from Bareness Vol. 1 (Unplugged) by Icicle

/

lyrics

The more I read the more I know
About the things that make me glow
A passage here, a lesson there
Create a world that I can share

I bless the life that gives me choice
In all the moments I can voice
From all the joy and all the strain
Stories end up here to stay

One by one I write them down
One by one they spin around
One by one they make me hum
Like a beetle on my thumb

One by one they settle down
One by one they have me frown
One by one they make me numb
Like a beetle on my thumb

Fleeting bits of sound and light
Are tattooed on my mind
Pretty rhymes are sung along
Pouring life into a song

Notions of the past and fate
Set the tone for big debates
About the wrong, about the sane
And all the efforts not in vein

On and on they photograph
On and on they paragraph
On and on they make me jump
Like a beetle on my thumb

On and on they give me peace
On and on they make me freeze
On and on they beat the drum
Like a beetle on my thumb

One by one they set me free
One by one they let me be
One by one they leave me dumb
Like a beetle on my thumb

One by one they epitaph
One by one they telegraph
One by one they focus on
The beetle on my thumb
