Walking Cloud - Eels

Well I just heard it the other day

My little lady got things she don’t say

In front of me and I’m not to proud

She tells her friends my name is walking cloud

Well it sounds to me like an indian name

And I’m not so sure that I want my fame

To hinge on the fact that I’m a bad egg

She says I’m like a big black cloud on legs

Well I’m not so bad I must defend myself

I like dogs and birds and records on the shelf

Well it’s a crazy mixed up life

When it’s hard for man and wife

To get along in a crowd

When you’re walking cloud

Well I guess I can be such a bitter old fuck

And it’s true that I’ve fallen on some pretty hard luck

But I think she’s forgetting all the things we vowed

Ain’t it wrong to call your man a walking cloud?

Cause I’m not so bad I must defend myself

I like dogs and birds and records on the shelf

Well it’s a crazy mixed up life

When it’s hard for man and wife

To get along in a crowd

When you’re walking cloud

Well I just heard it the other day

My little lady got things she don’t say

In front of me and I’m not to proud

She tells her friends my name is walking cloud
