Lyrics
Child Of The Universe
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.
Everybody misses you but
Nobody shoots
You're the kind of animal that
Moves around on roots
Child of the universe
You do not understand what gets you round
Everybody dances but they
Don't leave no shape
You're descended from someone but it
Sure ain't the ape
Child of the universe
You cannot feel and think at the same time
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Turn me on
Turn me on
I saw you yesterday by
The abandoned rail
You're the kind of animal that
Swallows its own tail
Child of the universe
Your universe is getting very hot
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Deep inside the womb of life
Silent raindrops fall
Deep inside the womb of life
Tears begin to fall
Deep inside the womb of life
I cannot hear at all
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
Dot-to-dot you
Dop you, like you
