Chasing A Bee
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.
Those seducers [4x]
bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks of mellow seducers, fine
[find?] eager seekers, deep deef down
beautiful lines from above and we're all a-glow
raise her head and things get warm, hold on to its leg, before
it flies away
sun lit walks, I feel no harm, my primitive words match my
primitive heart [hide?]
it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is
steam
[chorus] and of course it don't mind, chasing a bee inside a jar
[x2]
Then like sheep led to sacrifial slaughter, they don't mind, but
they oughta, all the time (they oughta)
their pretty shells are so inviting, well protected
their eyes are rivers, they give me shivers
[chorus]
it's not time for the real life [live?] sign, it's not time for
these fears of mine [x2]
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that
bubble off my back
it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam
[x2]
it's not time for the real life sign, it's not time for these
fears of mine
i'm feeling troubled, i'm feeling trapped, can't shake that
bubble off my back
i feel no harm, i feel no harm, ...feel no harm
[chorus]
its not as easy as it may seem, remember that yourself is steam
what once was lost will never be found, keep spinning in circles
until you break new ground
