Lyrics
Smaller & Smaller
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.
Drought makes the workers dream
Muscles and fields of green
Shovel the last few crumbs
Of generosity
Open heart, open mind, open mouth, open vein
Drain
Someday the rains will come
My blistered hands tell me
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Bite
Bite
Bite
Cry
Smaller and smaller and smaller
I'll keep coming back
Smaller and smaller and smaller
Squash me
Smaller and smaller and smaller
Under the charity
Smaller and smaller and smaller
Under the topsoil
Smaller and smaller and smaller
Under the fingernail
Smaller and smaller and smaller
Then small becomes all becomes all
Bite
Bite
Bite
Cry
It's not a mirage
It's not a mirage
Trickling downward, trickling downward
It's not a mirage
Drain
Drain
Bite
Bite
Bite
Cry
Shovel the last few crumbs
Of generosity
Smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller
