Lyrics
Daktari
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a weasel in the clover You tilt toss
pop turn over Sit down Tremble and weave like a moth By flamedeceived
Sit down Spill with your words caught up Dance in your room Slidelike
you're buttered up Roll back the tomb Sit down Bolt scuff jiltchase
circle riddle Shake in haste Sit down When the thundercloudssound
Ants scatter to high ground.
