lyrics

There's a tiny pipe near my front door
it sticks out four inches from the floor
I wonder why it's there staring up at me
it has no apparent functionality
the tiny pipe is black and made of lead
and it's mysteriously capped right at the end

And there's a tiny pipe
in the floor of my home
I wish I were smaller
then I'd see where it goes
I stay up at night
plagued by this thought
but since I am stuck inside
that pipe is all I've got

Did the pipe once reach the upper floor?
Or was there once a faucet by the door?
I think once I saw it billowing with steam
or was that only in a literal pipe dream?
Wonder where this tiny pipe extends
if it goes straight down, or if it ever bends

And there's a tiny pipe
in the floor of my home
I wish I were smaller
then I'd see where it goes
I stay up at night
plagued by this thought
but since I am stuck inside
that pipe is all I've got

Stupidly relatable, deceptively profound, and probably hungry, Tootilage is here to rock. ... more
