Because the Origami 8in8 (Ft. Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Damian Kulash & Neil Gaiman)

[Verse 1]
Because the Origami didn’t work
We gave you dancing lessons
Because the dancing lessons made you bored
We bought you a guitar

Because you said
It made your fingers sore
We found you a pony
Because the pony broke your leg and ran away
We got you drums

But the drums annoyed our neighbors so
We gave you cooking lessons
And the cooking lessons made you fat
We bought you running shoes

[Chorus]
If you hear this
Please
We love you Tommy
We know it was never about Origami

[Verse 2]
Because you took the shoes and ran away
We gave them your description
Now we haven’t heard a thing in weeks
