I should have gone deeper, but I'm not so afraid.
And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky.
And I said all my prayers because surely I have time.
And [B] I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt.
How my skin did explode, leaving only my [F#] shirt.
I was struck through a tree and in dream.
I grew up rude and I became a seed.
And that seed was a root.
And [B] I fall through the ground with my roots and my leaves.
And I tore off the shirt and I ate up the [F#] sleeve.
And they all doubted me and said,
What is your plan?
But their question was,
For I can understand.
But [B] then suddenly I'm ripped up and pasted on my own.
And it swallowed me down at which time I had [F#] snow on me.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi -yi-yi [B] -yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
I [F#]
[B] looked
[F#] to see them, these two mighty skies,
With their mouths grinning wildly, expressing light.
[B] As they stood there above me, being blank on each side,
I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide.
[F#] So I reached up to touch, but they faded too soon.
Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon.
[B] How that lateral mouth weighed so soft in the night.
And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight.
[F#] And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky.
But I know had I touched them, they'd meld back my vice.
[B] So I got up and walked down the path in the dark.
And there deep in the distance, my eye caught a spark.
[F#] Of a crab twice my size, with incredible strength.
Oh, it greeted me kindly, and then we all drank.
[B] And we drooled out together, right onto the ground.
And the ocean grew quickly, right [F#] up all around.
[F#] And the earth looked at me and said I wasn't ready for it.
I replied, I'm sorry if I hurt anyone.
[B] And without even thinking, cast me into space.
But before she did that, she wiped off my [F#] own face.
She said, better luck next time.
Don't worry so much.
Without ears, I couldn't hear.
I could just feel the touch.
[B] I laughed as I slid softly in the air.
Now I'm okay, but I should've gone deeper.
Oh, I'm not so great.
