Eskimo - Louden Swain

I once spoke to a meter maid

She said she liked the work but not the pay

Writing tickets while you run away afraid

I said hey to a polar bear

He said he liked it here but not over there

That’s what it’s like inside a dragon’s lair

The ice is fading back

It’s like teaching architecture to an Eskimo

You can show him everything you know

He’s still gonna build it out of snow

I’m gonna take my long division down to Mexico

Where I can divide all night

I said hey to an astronaut

He said he wishes he could pick his spot

He said he likes to go out a lot

And not quite make it back

It’s like teaching architecture to an Eskimo

You can show him everything you know

He’s still gonna build it out of snow

I’m gonna take my ticket and kick it down to Mexico

Yeah, I’m gonna fly all night

(Been around the world) I’ve been around the world, and I’ve seen

(Know what I mean) Enough to know what I mean

(Ticking in my mind) I got this ticking in my mind

And it’s about time

Well, all right

I set the record with Joan of Arc

She knew her destiny before that spark

She got the orders, and she played her part

It’s like teaching architecture to an Eskimo

You can show him everything you know

Still gonna build it out of snow

I’m gonna stand with my feet deeply rooted to the ground below

I can survive all night, yeah

It’s like teaching architecture to an Eskimo

You can show him everything you know

He’s still gonna build it out of snow

I’m gonna take my long division down to Mexico

I can divide all night

All night
