Little Armadillo

Little Armadillo sitting by the side of the road
you make your move with unknown speed.
I’ve often wondered, but I will never understand
how you manage to be so good.

No news is good news, or so they say, well I’m dismayed
by what I see when I step outside.
If this whole town had been built in 7/8 size scale
maybe we could all believe that this was only a sitcom.


I need to hear you say
that everything will be okay


Little Armadillo sitting by the side of the road
you make your move with unknown speed.
I’ve often wondered, but I will never understand
how you manage to be so good.

No news is good news, or so they say, well I’m dismayed
by the soft pale glow of my T.V.
The simplest explanations tend to be the most profound
so why does it seem like he’s been talking for hours?
