Aimee Mann Gumby lyrics

Gumby, Gumby,
You should call your daughter again
Don't call me,
Call your daughter

Gumby, I just can't do anything
Can't do anything right
Don't ask me, if I'll help when helping you
Just means someone to fight
It's so hard putting on your clothes
You don't even move to cover your skin
Why move? Moving is how things begin
The front yard taken by the crows
Blackguards with their shiny pieces of tin
So much fury you bury it in

Gumby, you should call your daughter
Please call your daughter again
You must see, things are getting harder
And getting more out of hand

Dude, you're not even that old
How bad must it be to be bad as this
All day filling a bottomless pit
All those trinkets bought and sold
Are tolls you throw down to the abyss
There's a bottom that you'll never hit

I don't know just how you explain this
To a kid with nowhere to live
It's just that the father she has means well
But just has nothing to give

Gumby, you should call your daughter again
Don't call me, call your daughter again
Gumby, Gumby,
You should call your daughter again
Don't call me, call your daughter.
