Translation
Bilingual
Avery said he's got a cold comin' on
Climbed into bed, stayed all summer long
ย
If I don't come out too soon
Maybe I'll hang on 'til June
Down on the knuckle
Sylvia knows a little hideaway
ย
Scrawling out prose she couldn't give away
ย
A life spent all indoors
Well, isn't that what doors are for?
Down on the knuckle
Down on the knuckle
Oh, the weather's dreary
Here down on the knuckle
ย
Your relatives write their cheery monologues
Hoping you might find your only analog
ย
So make another list
Of the mandatory things you've missed
Down on the knuckle
ย
Down on the knuckle
Oh, aren't we lucky
Stuck here on the knuckle
ย
The pillory's full for the holidays
ย
And it's achingly dull to watch the paint peel away
ย
So I'll keep hid with mine
And I'm sure that we'll make out just fine
Down on the knuckle
ย
Down on the knuckle
I'm finally riding
Shiny, on the knuckle
Down on the knuckle
Oh, aren't we lucky
Stuck here on the knuckle
