lyrics

What is at the foundation?
What is at the fundament?
What is this vibration?
Tell me what is at the root of it!

Well I don't have too much to say
Maybe I'll bend your ear a while
since you came all this way

I was born in the dirt at the age of ten
Not much has happened 'tween now and then
I had brothers, i had eight of them
And I had a mother, she was my best friend

Now she lives underground
And I walk on the ground
Now they live underground
And I walk on the ground

When I was fifteen I had a girl who was full of surprises
For her the whole world was full of plot devices
By the time I was sixteen didn't know her anymore
But I heard last month her grandson found her on the floor

Now she lives underground
And I walk on the ground
Now she lives underground
And I walk on the ground

How can I make sense of all these years?
So much dirt's been packed between my ears
Well at this point there's not much left to say
Cuz I'm the only who cares anyway
Anyway
Anyway

The clement springtime of our existence
The clement springtime of our existence
Humanity is a chemical reaction on a fractal surface
We're part of the chemistry that makes the cosmos cursive

I was born in the dirt at the age of ten
I rolled in the mud with my dogs and brothers and friends
