Gather up all the beautiful things
Ever written
Ever drawn
All the songs and teenage dreams
B-sides, napkin lyrics, campfire stories and librettos
Ball ‘em up into a sticky wad of hope
Now pack it good and shove it
Shove it right down History’s hole
Shove it right up to the elbow
Went out walkin this morning
Had to get some fresh air
Bunch of fungal fruit bodies
Pushin up everywhere
Hey now, pretty mushroom,
Weren’t there yesterday
Hike that skirt on up higher
Let those spores blow away…
Mushroom mushroom mushroom,
Always more than you seem
Share the Earth with your neighbor
In your mycelium dream
In your mycelium dream
Your mycelium dream
Cloak and dagger
The world is fried
In the glut of oil
That we found inside
Stare down the field
Where the weevil creeps
Sine wave of bug song
Summer beat keeps
How many ways
Can this long march end?
Dying up north
Like the Grizzly Man
Or face down in sand
Camel spiders mate
Your debt’s all paid
Now we clean the slate
Even beetles listen
When the calm rolls in
Fireflies flush with
Luciferin
Starlight shines
On the mucus trail
Kneel down and
Worship the silence
