Hold It Like An Egg - Crash Test Dummies

Drop that

Thing in my palm

And I’ll hold it

Like an egg

Careful

It’s fragile

You must chain it

By the leg

And if you

Can tame it

Finally

Unchain it

You have

Done something

That I can’t

That sure

Would be something

Slip that

In your pocket

Don’t crush it

Against your leg

Careful

It’s expensive

You must treat it

Like an egg

And if you

Can train it

Not to

Hurt the children

You have

Done something

That I can’t

That sure

Would be something

If we

Took our thing and

Went and sat down

By the sea

Would there

Still be something

Left of you and

Left of me?

If you

Help me train it

Finally

Unchain it

You have

Done something

That I can’t

That sure

Would be something
