| Keep your tongue in your mouth
|
| Though I know you’ve things to say, but if your words get out they will surely
|
| destroy
|
| Miss are you spoken for? |
| because I’d like to speak at you…
|
| Hold on to your seats while I try to transcend (using only my stories) the lies
|
| of men
|
| Keep your tongue in your mouth
|
| Though I know you’ve things to say, but if your words get out they will surely
|
| destroy
|
| Mr. dress suit hold your tongue, I have the speaking stick now!
|
| I wandered off the path one day. |
| Great watcher turned, and I ran away
|
| I lost myself amongst some trees
|
| Birds and lizards paid no mind to me
|
| Sat atop the mushroom growths and drank the tea of forest folk
|
| I did not mind, I sat alone until a hopping toad approached
|
| He spoke of things you’d not believe
|
| He whispered truths that tickled me
|
| I lost myself in fairy tales though truth be told, these tales were real
|
| The toad and I we shared a smoke and I lent my ears as for hours he spoke
|
| He bestowed his knowledge upon me, the women he’d known, the places he’d seen…
|
| (In the forest where I found god
|
| I licked it’s back and finally saw
|
| The place where all the good ones go
|
| Who births the rain, what births the snow?)
|
| Everyone was tripping, the whole world was dancing and I thought, I thought
|
| Maybe I was tripping for the animals were singing and I thought, I thought
|
| «I know this song! |
| I know this song!»
|
| And it’s finally making sense now…
|
| I’ve found a way to transcend the lies of men
|
| And man found a way to destroy everything worth loving
|
| Keep your tongue in your mouth!
|
| Is that too much to ask of you?
|
| I sat for hours while he spoke and asked him why he 'came a toad
|
| Said he’d always been this way, was not disguised just for today…
|
| In the forest where I found god
|
| I licked it’s back and finally saw
|
| So many colors I’d never seen
|
| The here and now, the in between
|
| He’s not who I thought he was
|
| But I like her much better as
|
| It’s not like I thought it was
|
| But I feel that I fit these paws…
|
| It’s not like I thought it was
|
| But I like it much better as
|
| It’s not like I thought it was
|
| But I feel that I fit these paws |
