A
A daydream spills from my corked head
                  F#m
Breaks free of my wooden neck
D                 Dm
Left to nod over sleeping waves
A
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
                    F#m
Floating flocks of candled swans
  D            Dm
Slowly drift across wax ponds

Chorus:
A            F#m             C#m        F#m
The men all played along to marching drums
               C#m          A            E
And, boy, did they have fun, behind the sea
They sang, (hey!)
A      F#m               C#m            F#m
So our matching legs are marching clocks
          C#m          A            E
And we're all too small to talk to God
           A           F#m           E
Yes, we're all too smart to talk to God

Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
To us from the dock
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk
Scarecrow, now it's time to hatch
Sprouting suns and ageless daughters

A
Don't you know, don't you know
           Em
That those watermelon smiles
Bm          A          E
Just can't ripen underwater
Bm          A          E
Just can't ripen underwater?

Chorus:
The men all played along to marching drums
And, boy, did they have fun, behind the sea
They sang, (Hey!)
So our matching legs are marching clocks
And we're all too small to talk to God
Yeah, we're all too smart to talk to God
Oh, we're all too smart to talk to God

A
Oh, legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs (yeah!)
C#m
Waves of wooden legs
A
Legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs
C#m
Waves of wooden legs
A
Legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs
C#m
Waves of wooden legs
A
Legs of wood waves
Waves of wooden legs
C#m
Waves of wooden legs
