lyrics

Benny Mudd (MacDonell/Robinson/CStorie/JStorie)

I've lived around this liquor store for twenty-five years
and let me tell you it ain't moved me baby
People seem to like the themes if not the songs I sing
and well I fill my hat there's nothing wrong with that
Well now I've got a soundtrack and a t-shirt
and that kid at the city desk thinks I should run for mayor
ah well that attunes me baby might just move me baby
well it moves me baby well I gotta run
Oh I wouldn't change a thing or set you stray
I'd see to it the things that people need
will get done with right I've seen the light
vote for Benny Mudd and I just might move you baby well vote it up
Beloved liquor store busker takes a run at the chair
well there's a ring in there somewhere to move me baby
like that guy with the flute or when the joker's high
well there's just something to it baby
it's gone to my head like your thirst for liquor
in that bag you're holding there well we all got our demons I guess
well bless me baby well that attunes me baby
well running for the chair might just move me baby I'll give it to you square
Oh I wouldn't change a thing or set you stray - benny mudd!
I'd see to it the things that people need - benny mudd!
will get done with right I've seen the light vote for Benny Mudd and I just might
move you baby well vote it up
Ahead of me a heap of soil treasures lie inside
buried by time and neglect but treasure lies there yet
so let us stop asking what it is and let us dig to see
to shine a light unshone upon the ripples in the trees
reflected upon the lake and let us pause for thought upon each new beginning
and it moves me baby well wait before you leap
and take stock of those around you and me who have also emerged from the same deep muck
and each sheet of dust and each new layer of soil is lit from within
by the treasures unearthed within well that attunes me baby
well it moves me baby now put em out there
Oh I wouldn't change a thing or set you stray
I'd see to it the things that people need
will get done with right I've seen the light vote for Benny Mudd and I just might
move you baby well I'm gonna run
It's in the mountains it's lit
so if that's all the ends you need from it
the measure of the mountain and the treasure you espouse
well that's fine with you but me I'm happy to
just keep here digging baby well that attunes me baby
Well it moves me baby well it moves you baby
well it moves you baby well it moves me baby
Well I wouldn't change a thing or set you stray
I'd see to it the things that people need well they move me baby
So take pleasure in your treasure if that's all the ends you need
but as for me I'm happy just to keep on busking as an
unofficial liquor store employee buy my soundtrack baby
ooh vote for Benny Mudd it moves me baby
ooh vote it up
