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.

When I thought of what the scorpions must have considered me

As I laid amongst them

In a desert night

But they let me alone that time

And uh, I saw the horses swish their tails

And moved on to the bear country and

Fish country and

Must have seen four people in three days

Had to protect your head at night from the mosquitoes

Other than that, I guess you could survive

There was a wooden house

I'm not sure if it had two floors or one floor

I knew I had arrived

On the outskirts of something

Then I hit a road

Slipped and parked, bus

It was a metal house

Not under the tree, near the water

I heard the cars roar

I saw the people in their uniforms

Playing a good game

Nobody shirking their part

Doing it well and good

Me, I busted out

It was never the same since then

It never has been the same

Because they irked me on

They took me from my place

I was in my place

And they took me back to Earth.

Where what is this place

They call Earth?

I'd rather be in my place

I could walk up tall

Tall hills

I could siege a timber fort

It was well made and preserved

On a mountain top
