Floating Bridge Lyrics


The beam bridge, seeming to be the ridge spanner
all manner of planks gets employed under the banner
of progress, eighty-five yards the max
nobody plummets to the bottom of ravines intact
and so the truss bridge must be seen as an improvement,
cantilever even receiving the translucent
inducement to get wrecked (high tech)
and watch the firth of forth fall in the drink, one should expect
and so you step with the arch bridge, point to every zenith
say that gravity's smart , you settle stones just like a genius
but i've seen this tumble like crumbs from cookie's lips
the aqueducts no longer seem to irrigate worth spit
the suspension bridge can go like seven thousand feet
but its seven plus one from here to where i want to be
so i free up the styrofoam peanuts that i've been packing

if im lacking in boats, its cause im fearful of the krakken
now im stacking little floaters and im banding them together
i could travel over water, in this manner to wherever
if the bonds hold tight , lets take a hike to honolulu
then you'll be whistling the praises of the floating bridge too.

John Adam Estes (born in Ripley, Lauderdale County, Tennessee, January 25, 1899 — Brownsville, Haywood County, Tennessee, June 5, 1977) best known as Sleepy John Estes or Sleepy John, was a blues guitarist, songwriter and vocalist. In 1915, Estes' father, a sharecropper who also played some guitar, moved the family to Brownsville, Tennessee. Not long after, Estes lost the sight of his right eye when a friend threw a rock at him during a baseball game. At the age of 19, while working as a field hand, he began to perform professionally.
