I slept all day

I woke with distaste

And i railed

And i raved

That the difference between

The sprout and the bean

It is a golden ring

It is a twisted string

And you can ask the counsellor

You can ask the king

And they'll say the same thing

And it's a funny thing

Should we go outside

Should we go outside

Should we break some bread

Are y'interested

And as i said

I slept as though dead

Dreaming seamless dreams

Of lead

When you go away

I am big-boned and fey

In the dust of the day

And in the dirt of the day

And the danger, danger drawing near them was a white coat

And the danger, danger drawing near them was a broad boat

And the water, water running clear beneath a white throat

And the hollow chatter of the talking of the tadpoles

Who know th'outside

Should we go outside

Should we break some bread

Are y'interested
