[00:00:01] The Present Tense Tureen - Moxy Fruvous

[00:00:04] Circumstances eat themselves

[00:00:08] The present tense has been

[00:00:12] Fill the fancy bowl up

[00:00:15] At the present tense tureen

[00:00:19] I once had a girl

[00:00:21] She lived in the past

[00:00:23] It was clear

[00:00:24] That relationship wouldn't last

[00:00:27] It was clear from

[00:00:27] The way she had to sleep south

[00:00:31] It was clear from

[00:00:32] The lines around her mouth

[00:00:35] So I went for a walk in the ravine

[00:00:39] I came upon an unbelievable scene

[00:00:43] In a tiny creek there's a tiny boat

[00:00:47] With a tiny man in a tiny coat

[00:00:51] I said

[00:00:52] Hey man do you think you can help

[00:00:55] He said Of course I can

[00:00:57] I'm an elf

[00:00:59] We're not just fictional device

[00:01:03] We sail ravines and give advice

[00:01:07] I said My baby is what it's about

[00:01:11] He cried Helms a lee boy

[00:01:14] I'm comin' about

[00:01:15] Don't fill me in on right or wrong

[00:01:19] Take these ropes and sing this song

[00:01:27] Circumstances eat themselves

[00:01:30] The present tense has been

[00:01:35] Fill the fancy bowl up

[00:01:38] At the present tense tureen

[00:01:44] His eyes were afire

[00:01:46] He lit up a coal

[00:01:48] Handed me a ladle

[00:01:49] And a little white bowl

[00:01:50] Put the pot on the fire

[00:01:54] He opened a book

[00:01:56] And said sit down

[00:01:57] The thing's gotta cook

[00:01:59] That's the loveliest pot

[00:02:02] I've ever seen

[00:02:03] He said it's not a pot it's a tureen

[00:02:08] And what's inside will make you well

[00:02:12] So ring this little dinner bell

[00:02:15] Then he giggled in french

[00:02:18] That's what he did

[00:02:19] Like a kid at Christmas

[00:02:21] As he opened the lid

[00:02:24] Help yourself he beamed with pride

[00:02:28] But there was no sweet soup inside

[00:02:34] Silence fell on the cooling night

[00:02:38] I thought I better fake

[00:02:39] It just to be polite

[00:02:46] Smallest friend biggest moon

[00:02:50] Empty bowl empty spoon

[00:02:57] Circumstances eat themselves

[00:03:01] The present tense has been

[00:03:05] Fill the fancy bowl up

[00:03:08] At the present tense tureen

[00:03:13] Circumstances eat themselves

[00:03:18] The present tense has been

[00:03:21] Fill the fancy bowl up

[00:03:24] At the present tense tureen
