I had a pack of wax, a deal for you You played a certain buck You speak into my open ears & so I turn to look & so we strum so serious, so random, without a care No drinks for those of us with certain ears Uncertain, playful, Robert I got a mandolin, I'll play for him I got a deal to make with myself & when it happens great big Robert summons up some spirit in us & my god it makes me cry Why not? Why not laugh at cynical dry desire? The passion shines through Laugh at me playful Robert Double you -- gee whiz -- see double Make me drink an excuse to be playful, Robert It's good for us It's good for us I'm gonna pack my bags & play for him Across the ocean to my death I don't know what awaits me over there, perhaps just my arrest If the sloppy parts don't faze you, lemme try something to stop the clock Lemme play something Being playful, playful, Robert We'll make a master map Create Slovenia in our own image, lad Big bad dear playful playful Robert I'm so often sad Your dreary laugh lifting me, sunk spirit Playful, playful R R R Robert
