“Give me a place to stand, and a lever long enough, and I will move the world.”
-Archimedes
lyrics
I’ve got two cents on the railroad track
I’ve got a suitcase on the luggage rack
I’ve got angels chasing at my heels and Atlas on my back
I’ve got a pair of 2’s and a blind man’s bluff
Not sure how to use this stuff
Well I would move the world if I could get a grip
But my knees give in and my fingers slip
And I can’t help thinking I’m ill-equipped for that task
Well I’ve got two feet and I’ve got two hands
I'm just looking for a place to stand
The teacher he’s a friend of mine
He had the whole world on a fishing line
He said “give me a lever long enough
and a level place to do my stuff, and I'll blow your mind”
Well I’ve got two feet and I’ve got two hands
I'm just looking for a place to stand
Say to this mountain “fall into the sea”
Not sure I moved mountains, or if the mountains moved me
But I’m gonna rest my head under the mustard tree
Lord, lay me down
I’ve got a postcard of the holy land
I’ve got a birthmark and a wedding band
I’ve got doubts and I’ve got debts
But I'm not about to give up yet
Until my dinner date with a two-thousand-year-old man
Well I’ve got two feet and I’ve got two hands
I'm just looking for a place to stand
