Montana
(John Linnell)
Album: State Songs
What are you staring at in that hospital bed?
Let me explain. I wasn`t thinking about anything.
Then it hit me that Montana was really just a leg,
With the round part just the way you would expect.
And it started with a feeling that ended in a leg,
And it seemed to me Montana was a leg.
A LEG! Now I get it!
I`ll tell the person next to me, and then haul off and die.
I won`t need this electric folding bed.
I can lose these tiny pill cups now.
`Cause it hit me that Montana was really just a leg,
And then just like that it all fell into place.
And I don`t think I can stand any longer in this bed,
Since I figured out Montana was a leg.
A LEG! Now I get it!
I wasn`t sure but now I know, and I can finally go.
Give out my lungs, give up and tell
The information to the man in the next bed down.
In the morning he`ll tell someone the last thing that I said,
When I told him that Montana was a leg
From the beginning there was something about it staring me
In the face - I should have guessed it right away,
When it started with a feeling that ended in a leg,
And it seemed to me Montana was a leg.
A LEG! Now I get it!
I`ll tell the person next to me.
I`ll say Montana was (I`ll tell them that Montana was)
A LEG! Now I get it!
I wasn`t sure but now I know, and I can finally go.
