lyrics

That you go on that you do it too
or once have done to tear at that
I fail your want
and sweet sound and watch them wait for my failure.
Future people I went to the museum and saw all so curious and substantial
make its presence known above me.
And so thrilled with the gifts of humans I was, their talents,
that soon I departed.
The cold and pleasant sun, the midday
a business in great excess
of the cruelty of people.
And in this and my own joyous way
I returned home some day or so later.
I looked from the sky upon a warm occupant glow.
You learned a better way
and I filled myself with silly pills
for years we floated this way
your husband never knowing
a small circle of salt around your body.
