Lyrics

BEETLE ON MY THUMB<br/> The more I read the more I know<br/> About the things that make me glow<br/> A passage here, a message there<br/> Create a world that I can share<br/> I bless the life that gives me choice<br/> In all the moments I can voice<br/> From all the joy and all the strain<br/> Stories end up here to stay<br/> One by one I write them down<br/> One by one they spin around<br/> One by one they make me hum<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they settle down<br/> One by one they have me frown<br/> One by one they make me numb<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> Fleeting bits of sound and light<br/> Are hammered in my mind<br/> Pretty rhymes are sung along<br/> Pouring life into a song<br/> Notions of the past and fate<br/> Set the tone for big debates<br/> On what is mad and what is sane<br/> And all the efforts not in vein<br/> One by one they give me peace<br/> One by one they make me freeze <br/> One by one they beat the drum<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they set me free<br/> One by one they let me be<br/> One by one they leave me dumb<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they give me peace<br/> One by one they make me freeze <br/> One by one they beat the drum<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they set me free<br/> One by one they let me be<br/> One by one they leave me dumb<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they photograph<br/> One by one they paragraph<br/> One by one they make me jump<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they epitaph<br/> One by one they telegraph<br/> One by one they focus on<br/> The beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they photograph<br/> One by one they paragraph<br/> One by one they make me jump<br/> Like a beetle on my thumb<br/> One by one they epitaph<br/> One by one they telegraph<br/> One by one they focus on<br/> The beetle on my thumb
