Porcupine Tree

(spoken)

A porcupine tree is a very rare species of tree which sleeps all through the rash winter

Protected by thick sharp thorns all around the trunk and boughs. some thorns reach the astonishing

Lenght of 50 cm. fortunately, they are not poisonous or offer any danger to other living creatures except

Blind tree-huggers and zombies. to these i dont know never saw one, really. to those the thorns may cause

Numbness or foresightness depending on the blind tree-hugger starsign.

However, tree huggers from all over the world, blind or no, speak in whispers about the porcupine tree and its

Habitat. you see, when a specially bad winter rows away (and sometimes even in the summer a porcupine tree

Hibernates. real trees like that are older than worldly seasons and follow their individual time and rules). but, see,

When a specially bad winter for the tree rows away, the porcupine tree "wakes up" to put in a term we can all understand

And "shakes away", really like a dog shaking itself away from fleas or something, the tree shakes away all thorns which once

Removed from their vital connection with the tree, are all loosed like recently cooked spaghetti.

And at that exact and right moment it is said that at that rare and marvellous moment it is said that

Oh, porcupine tree

Oh, porcupine

You stand tall and broad

You stand tall and shine

Call on my name

Call jesus christ

Call out aloud

Please don´t be shy

Oh porcupine tree,

Oh porcupine

Stay please i´ll make coffee

Stronger than tar

Tranquilize me

Oh porcupine

For your troubles and worries

I can´t tranquilize

Oh porcupine tree

Oh porcupine

Don´t give up on me

Oh no don´t give up

I will be close

I´ll stay by your side

Till all deadly winters

Wither and die

Snore our protection

From them outside

Dream against dream

Hugs so tight

Oh porcupine tree

Oh porcupine

Warm comes the breeze

The winter just died

Wake widing eyes

Oh porcupine!

Yawn all you want

Yawn back to life

Shake all your thorns

From your slender bod'

Hear cracking bones

Around my own arms

Oh porcupine tree

Oh porcupine
