I’m starin, starin at a heron
Just tryin to figure it out
I’m starin, starin at a heron
Wondering what it’s all about
This is where the
Confusion starts
Looks like it’s made from
Dinosaur parts
Sings like an alligator
Moves like a snake
Might have feathers
But I think it’s a fake
(CHORUS)
IS IT A REPTILE OR IS IT A BIRD?
Its bark in the dark
Is the strangest thing that I’ve ever heard
IS IT A CREATURE FROM AGES AGO?
I’m starin, starin at a heron
Ain’t sure what to do
I’m starin, starin at a heron
For it’s too weird to be true
Cretaceous critter
Comes down with a swoop
Flaps so floppy that
Is wingtips droop
Tromps through the swamp
In search of a snack ‘til
It flies away
Like a pterodactyl
CHORUS
I’m starin, starin at a heron
Feeling so perplexed
I’m starin, starin at a heron
Can’t guess what’ll happen next
Stalks so slowly
Like it’s frozen in time
Creeps in eerie
Pantomime
Its loch ness neck
Has an S-shaped kink
Makes me think
It’s the missing link
CHORUS
I’m starin, starin at a heron
That’s starin right back at me
I’m starin, starin at a heron
As still as I can be
Taken so long, to finish this song
Now I got something to prove
We’re gonna have us a contest
To see who’s the first to move…

This album is on heavy rotation in my house. LeBlanc's lyrics make me smile and the banjo rendition of Ace of Spades is a cherry on top of this masterpiece. awetz583

Le premier album est clairement meilleur. Je sais pas ce que vous avez fait avec le mastering de la voix, mais ça sonne off. Une voix en background qui manque de vie.Bref, le premier album sonne plus cru, décevant ici. Maxime P
