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 counselor

And 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

In the dirt of the day

And Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat

And 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?
