Metaphors
- W Ross Campbell (SOCAN)
Vs I
I was stuck in a Sardine Can when you came along with the Key
You Rolled me Back and Set me Free
Then you Rowed by in a Boat when I was Floundering in the Sea
You Reeled me In and Rescued Me
Now I know you've heard all of these before
You've heard these Same Old Cliched Metaphors
I was tied to a Railroad Track without my Swiss Army Knife
You Flagged that Train and Saved My Life!
You Flagged that Train and Saved My Life!
Vs II
I fell off of that High Trapeze with No Safety Net at all
You Rushed into that Ring, Baby, & Broke my Fall
Then the Brakes Failed on my Cadillac just when You had Hitched a Ride
You Dragged Your Feet---otherwise, we might've Died!
Now I'm sure you'll hear these Urban Myths again
These Metaphors that dwell inside My Brain
I was Sinking in Quicksand--- it was Up Around my Neck
You Drained My Swamp, Baby, and Took Me Home for Sex
You Drained My Swamp, and Took Me Home for Sex
