Blue Penguin
The Ruby Suns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

im too sexy for my penguin
saw you swimming in a wave
you don't usually venture
this far from your home
your size and color
capture my imagination
dont wander too far else
you might lose your way
where is your family
are you more comfortable with others
? @ 3: 00
you were with your relatives




? @ 3: 10
does not detract from your intriguing splendor
