Well if I ever see the morning Just like a lizard in the spring I’m gonna run out in the meadow To catch the silence where it sings
I’m gonna force the Serengeti To disappear into my eyes Then when I hear your voices callin’ I’m gonna turn just inside out
Well if I ever get to slumber Just like a mole deep in the ground Hell, I won’t be found
Deep in the dust forgotten gathered I grow a diamond in my chest I make reflections as the moon shines on Turn to a villain as I rest
Well if I ever get to slumber Just like a mole deep in the ground Hell, I won’t be found
I know there is a hollow I need to fill it with a draft Of all the words that I wont say And with a quiet whisper I send a curse upon the day That never used the sun to see The light
I’m gonna float up in the ceiling I built a levee of the stars And in my field of tired horses I built a freeway through this farce
Well if I ever get that slumber Ill be that mole deep in the ground And I won’t be found
