Human Being

from For the Sea by cavepainters

lyrics

I'm building a human being
I started the shape out of clay
I'm building him up to the ceiling
I'll be finished one of these days

I'm missing a heart and an elbow
I looked for them everywhere
I don't suppose I could just borrow
I promise that I would take care

I'll ride him around town
and I'll jump him up and down
he'll do anything that I say
when the sheriff comes around
I'll fall to the ground
saying, "don't take my human away"

I took a short trip to the graveyard
It wasn't so scary at all
my old man told me it would be hard
he said, "digging is not for the small"

I'm building a human being
I've got all the parts that I need
I'm building a human being
I hope that you won't judge my misdeeds

I'll ride him around town
and I'll jump him up and down
he'll do anything that I say
when the sheriff comes around
I'll fall to the ground
saying, "don't take my human away"

when the sheriff comes around
I'll fall to the ground
saying, "don't take my human away"
