Magnetic Claws

I wish I had magnetic claws
Like a little metal crab
I'd cling to passing metal things
It would be so exciting
I'd be like a dandelion seed
Always traveling, always moving
Except I wouldn't be a weed
Plus, I'd never find a place to grow
So who would have the time to know
Me? But that would be okay, I think
If I had the lifespan of a crab
But if I spent humanity
In the life of a nomad, it would quickly
Grow old, and I would have to commit
Crustacean suicide.
So really I wish I had a dream
Where I was a little metallic crab
With magnet claws, and tie-dye body
And, well, I can dream if I want to,
Can't I?
