"Vanderlylle Cry Baby"
Leave your home
Change your name
Live alone
Eat your cake

Vanderlylle cry baby cry
Oh the waters are rising
Still no surprising you
Vanderlylle cry baby cry
Man it’s all been forgiven
Swans are a swimmin’
I’ll explain everything
To the geeks

All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the

Vanderlylle cry baby cry
Oh the waters are rising
Still no surprising you
Vanderlylle cry baby cry
Man it’s all been forgiven
Swans are a swimmin’
I’ll explain everything
To the geeks

Hanging from chandeliers
Same small wall
At your heels

All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the

Still no surprising you
Vanderlylle cry baby cry
Man it’s all been forgiven
Swans are a swimmin’
I’ll explain everything
To the geeks
I’ll explain everything
To the geeks
I’ll explain everything
To the geeks

All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the
All the very best of us
String ourselves up for the
