Lyrics:
Rickie Lee Jones The Evening Of My Best Day

them from the schoolyard Free them from the lunch tray edge Free them from the canons inside your head I don't know why, But for some people An ordinary day

them from the schoolyard Free them from the lunch tray edge Free them from the canons inside your head I don't know why, But for some people An ordinary day

loved by you Talk like you talk Think like you do You never were human so How could you know? We fall so hard, we can't let go I am the last of my kind

There is a tree on allenford I drive by it each day on my way to and from work And there are always flowers left there each day Left for a child who

with Someone like me Lap dog lap dog you should come home A little lap dog wasn't meant to roam A little lap dog was meant to lay By the fire and sleep all day

all night Left out of the sea There was nobody That wasn't after me I was a bird, yeah And it started to rain You know I wondered If everybody could feel my

Not long ago it was alright There were no bad dreams that kept me up at night It was not brother against brother Mother against mother So tell somebody

He's an ugly man He always was an ugly man He grew up to be like his father An ugly man And he'll tell you lies He'll look at you and tell you lies
