k.d. lang | Lyrics | Don't Be a Lemming Polka

I pin myself against the walls
Stationed like a horse in stall
Just wishing, they might call me art

There I hung in the hall
Collecting dust that's all
It's all I needed to do

While in the corner, quite a size
He sits talking, whiskey-wise
Hopin' to throw me off

But no matter how he tries
I'll just look him in the eyes
It's all that I need to do

That's all it took to see
I was wastin' time
It's all it took to see
I was walkin' the line

I'm going to ride high as can be
I look behind
And see them followin' me

So, my friends, don't delay
Unless of course
You'd rather stay
Lemmings headed for the cliff

Rounding up, they're going astray
Take the lead, take the way
That's all that we need to do

That's all it took to see
I was wastin' time
That's all it took to see
I was walkin' the line

I'm going to ride high as can be
I look behind
And see them followin' me

I'm going to ride high as can be
I'll look behind
And see them followin' me
