When I Was Done Dying

When I was done dying, my conscience regained

So I began my struggle, a nothingness strained

Out a flash made of time, my new form blasted out

And it startled me so and I burst out a shout

At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest

And I ran until drained, leaving no choice but rest

So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave

But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave

And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky

And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die

As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt

How my skin did explode, leaving only my shirt

But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit

And I became the seed and that seed was a brute

And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves

And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves

And they laughed out at me and said: What is your plan?

But their question was foreign, I could not understand

When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed into a mouth

And it swallowed me down at which time I head south

I said hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya

Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds

With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs

As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side

I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide

So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon

Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon

How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night

And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight

And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky

But I knew had I touched them they'd mouth back: Bye-bye

So I got up and walked down the path in the dark

And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark

Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength

Oh, it greeted me kindly and then we all drank

And we drooled out together right onto the ground

And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around

And the earth looked at me and said: Wasn't that fun?

And I replied: I'm sorry if I hurt anyone

And without even thinking cast me into space

But before she did that she wiped off my 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

As I feel asleep softly at the edge of a cave

But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave

I said hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya
