Mia Doi Todd Strawberries lyrics

Walking the tightrope, now no consequences
Walking the tightrope, numb and defenseless

I knocked on your door
And you answered quite quickly
Said I could not come in
But we could walk around the garden together

Arm in arm, enjoying the weather
And inspecting the crops
Green beans in profusion, long and straight
Burdening the vine like a weeping willow

Ripe red tomatoes, soft and sweet
Perched upon their furry stalk, begging you to pluck
Crisp cucumbers, proud bell peppers
Radiating eighteen shades of life

Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life flies

One green plastic basket of extra large

Extra sweet, extra well fed strawberries
We ate them one by one 'til there was just one left
The largest, sweetest, extra fancy
Then we alternated bite by bite
'Til it was all gone then it was all gone

Walking the tightrope, now no consequences
Walking the tightrope, numb and defenseless

Can you spare any change for me tonight?
I need something to eat, somewhere to sleep tonight
I need something to hold, something to hold me tonight
I need someone to love, someone to love me tonight

Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life flies
Life, time, life, time, life, time, lifetime flies
Walking the tightrope
