lyrics

Down comes the eagle from the mountain
Listen as it soars
Daytime’s for gliding, nighttime’s for hunting
Watch it as it roars

Nighttime vision is for recycling
Bats cannot ignore
Sonar speaks like sonic lightning
Bats always see more

Life plays hardball so often
And I am the plastic bat
Life throws a curveball so softly
And I am the plastic bat

Life plays hardball so often
And I am the plastic bat
Life bowls a googly so softly
And I am the plastic bat

Larvae glow worm in the cavern
What will they become?
Firefly or fungus gnat
A life of glowing done

Arachnocampa predator
The bats share caves with thee
Glowing vampires do adorn
The webs of Aussies and Kiwis

Life plays hardball so often
And I am the plastic bat
Life bowls a wrong’un so softly
And I am the plastic bat

Life plays hardball so often
And I am the plastic bat
Life bowls a Bosie so softly
And I am the plastic bat

Somewhere in the sticky silk
A plasticine at heart resides
Aglow and fires that untie
A light to shine, a heart desires

Life plays hardball so often
And I am the plastic bat
Life bowls a wrong’un so softly
And I am the plastic bat

Life plays hardball so often
And I am the plastic bat
Life bowls a Bosie so softly
And I am the plastic bat
