Yo La Tengo - Barnaby, Hardly Working

For the moment slipped right through him
Combed his hair, combed his hair
Knew the feeling of contentment
An actors' actor
An actors' actor
She smiled a smile uncomprehending
As he took his time, took his time
Wore a hat, so he'd impress her
Took a ride
Took a ride
Says, I could wait for hours
I could wait and never fall down
Never fall down
Never fall down
Face down beside the river
Face down beside the river
Face down beside the river
Face down beside the river
For the moment slipped right through him
Combed his hair, combed his hair
Knew the feeling of contentment
An actors' actor
An actors' actor
She smiled a smile uncomprehending
As he took his time, took his time
Wore a hat, so he'd impress her
Took a ride
Took a ride
Says, I could wait for hours
I could wait and never fall down
Never fall down
Never fall down
Face down beside the river
Face down beside the river
Face down beside the river
Face down beside the river
