The Present Tense Tureen
Moxy Früvous

Circumstances eat themselves
The present tense has been
Fill the fancy bowl up
At the present tense tureen.

I once had a girl, she lived in the past
It was clear that relationship wouldn't last
It was clear from the way she had to sleep south
It was clear from the lines around her mouth
So I went for a walk in the ravine
I came upon an unbelievable scene
In a tiny creek there's a tiny boat
With a tiny man in a tiny coat
I said Hey man, do you think you can help?
He said Of course I can - I'm an elf
We're not just fictional device
We sail ravines and give advice
I said My baby is what it's about
He cried Helms a-lee, boy, I'm comin' about
Don't fill me in on right or wrong
Take these ropes and sing this song

Circumstances eat themselves
The present tense has been
Fill the fancy bowl up
At the present tense tureen.

His eyes were afire, he lit up a coal
Handed me a ladle and a little white bowl
Put the pot on the fire, he opened a book
And said sit down, the thing's gotta cook
That's the loveliest pot I've ever seen
He said it's not a pot, it's a tureen
And what's inside will make you well
So ring this little dinner bell
Then he giggled in french - that's what he did
Like a kid at Christmas, as he opened the lid
Help yourself he beamed with pride
But there was no sweet soup inside.
Silence fell on the cooling night
I thought I better fake it just to be polite
Smallest friend, biggest moon
Empty bowl, empty spoon.

Circumstances eat themselves
The present tense has been
Fill the fancy bowl up
At the present tense tureen.

Circumstances eat themselves
The present tense has been
Fill the fancy bowl up
At the present tense tureen.
