lyrics

Well my hands aren't made out of papier maché
And head's not made out of clay

You can put me in your pocket if you light bottle rocket
And know how to point it which way

And your hair's the shade of summer
On a cold autumn night it takes me there
Leaves flit by my knees in November
I needn't worry about the winter when
Skies are blue with rainbows in November
Look what's coming around the riverbed

I poured holy water upon the witch when I heard her talking in tongues
But she came at me with a bottle of wine
And we drank until it was gone

Skies are blue with rainbows in November
I know I'll make it until the winter's end

My hands aren't made out of papier maché
And your hair's the shade of summer
