Kids dig metaphor

Parliament, Hughes, Borba, Gadanidis, Gerofsky

 

 

Verse 1:
A metaphor – it’s like a crazy thing,
Like maybe string -- a long string crammed together
So then the middle’s more stuck together
And then it’s stretched out.

Chorus: Kids dig dig
d-i-g, dig dig
Metaphor (X3)

Use it wisely, use it well
Your imagination is
Spectacular!

It looks, yeah, like a spring
A spring like this, but slanted sideways
One part’s squashed close together
And one’s, like, pulled apart all straight.

Chorus: Kids dig dig
d-i-g, dig dig
Metaphor (X3)

Use it wisely, use it well
Your imagination is
Spectacular!

Or it looks like a heartbeat, one that’s dying
And then more heartbeat, faster, stronger
And then it starts fading again.
Oh –oh – I think they died!

Chorus: Kids dig dig
d-i-g, dig dig
Metaphor (X3)

Use it wisely, use it well
Your imagination is
Spectacular!

It looks like those accordions
But then the accordion flaps started stretching
All the flaps get straightened out
Maybe someone’s playing it the wrong way.

Chorus: Kids dig dig
d-i-g, dig dig
Metaphor (X3)

Use it wisely, use it well
Your imagination is
Spectacular!
