ON MY SLEEVE
Listen Now!

Last night I wore my heart on my sleeve when I drug it through the soup
I pulled it out all hot and soggy, covered in noodles and goop
The left ventricle said to the right one, this gal's a clumsy mess
Tell her to keep us off of her sleeve and stick us back in her chest

Chorus:
It can be messy to have your heart on your sleeve
But sometimes it just has to ride there, I truly do believe

Then my superior vena cava told the inferior one
I think riding on her sleeve is delightful- it's really much more fun
My aorta said we oughta just pump out this broth and retreat
Safely behind her sternum, at least when she tries to eat

Chorus:

So my heart it keeps on jumping from my chest out to my arm
And I always hear it thumping to the beat of a different drum
So if you join me for dinner I hope that you'll tell me please
If I'm dipping my heart in the gravy as it hangs off of my sleeve

Chorus:
