Old Snail Shell, Dime, Nickel, and Nail
Three cheers, four ways, five sips on the grail
Yeah song birds silky
Tommy poppin' dilly reels
Self-actualized and aware of my Achilles heels
Lily fields and black clouds tucked Tut
We unplugged from the buzz hushing the fuss up
Punch-drunk and in love summon the blood rush
Uncut wondrous lands no one but just us
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh ooo
Into the light
Into the light
Flesh and bone feed the Earths appetite
Spend the afterlife in the dark of the night
Makes sense to me, but I hope I ain't right
Old Snail Shell, Dime, Nickel, and Nail
Three kings, four troops, five weeks on the Yale
Yeah, I'm dragonfly fickle with the satellites twinkle
Navigating by the glimmers of the candlelight vigil
I don't want to leave the labyrinth
That's why I throw away the keys to all the secret passages
Send specialists focused on recent happenings
But now you got me thinking about the scheming on me after this
Into the light
Into the light
Flesh and bone feed the Earth's appetite
Spend the afterlife in the dark of the night
Makes sense to me, but I hope I ain't right
Old Snail Shell, Dime, Nickel, and Nail
Three wishes, four elements, five different tales
Well, I believe in magic, space ships, and fairy dust
But think we fade black when disease and time buries us
Cherry blush, naked flesh, sovereign and gentle
A far cry from the God we should resemble
When I go, don't lay me in the mausoleum temple
Place beneath the stars under the rocks up in the meadow
So my remains can nourish all of the flowers and their petals
You told me souls are passengers in bodies are just vessels
And when we are done we travel through the cosmos to a special place
Well, if that's the case then we should probably just let go
But, I ain't for it there's too much of me to be still
So, be still state the reasoning to your free will
We build and learn, simple children turn to grown-ups
Questioning the morphing self until the Earth can own us
So, please be here silent and aware
Motionless and soaking up the vibe that's in the air
Staring out upon the river and vast gorge
Frozen in this moment, this is all we can ask for.
