Eddie Hinton sat there and I'm looking for some clues I think I finally get it because I could use one, too With a half a gallon of low fat milk, a quart of orange juice Hard to keep it cryptic trying to keep it loose Keep it loose I dreamed I saw a serpent swallowing its tail It said the answer is in the garden but it isn't up for sale Weird to think your destiny lies in your choice of fruit The tiger or the princess, at least it's yours to choose I can see the old folks headed down to the parade Promising to keep all of the promises they made Giving thanks and praises today Someone told my daughter that karma isn't real But it's been circling for years now, just think how that makes me feel Like when Jim Bone said the twenty clowns aren't really in the car I wish people would just leave things the way I think that they are I can see the children headed down to the parade Promising to keep all of the promises they made They're giving their thanks and praises Thanks and praises today I hit the wet streets running towards inflatable cartoons I'd like to think they're something more than heroin balloons If the answer is going to get here, well I hope it gets here soon Because I could use a little taste to brighten up my room I can see myself headed down to the parade Promising to keep all of the promises I have made All of the promises I have made Giving my thanks and praises Thanks and praises I'm giving my thanks and praises Thanks and praises today I'm giving my thanks and praises Thanks and praises today
