Armadillo Bowl

Thorin N. Tatge

To “Pretty Baby” by the Spin Doctors

Look around your world, armadillo

Is it anything you hoped it'd be?

The long lanes, the free-floating station

The right time to roll to me!

Roll to me!

And poke around that bridge, armadillo

Is there anything that you can control?

Hit those pins, the place lurches forward, so

Time for your forward roll!

Forward roll!

And I don't think I have ever seen you make a strike or spare

But if you want to turn on life support

You’ve got to find some flair!

Try not to think of earth, armadillo

If we gave you dirt, you’d hide in your hole

But when you stall, we all go spinning, so it’s

Time for a forward roll!

Forward roll!

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair

Though you may not see your home again

At least you’ve friends who care!

So look around your world, armadillo

Is there anything you can’t control?

You got fake grubs but real fresh ideas, so

Welcome to the Armadillo Bowl
