lyrics

LIGHTING SEED

The “Snorkle”
Wouldn’t give her a break
And I know!
I attended the wake
She was camera worn and grossly over made
Her demise if so prolonged would not have paid
The papers signed in full - the deal looked sweet
But had she read between the lines
She may have seen some better times
Or so I do speculate
What does it matter at any rate?
She like the billions before
Destine to break from this shell...
By tomorrow she was on her way
To sow another gap where darkness breeds
As a lighting... seed
And “Hedgee” (yeah) was still a mistake
The “Snorkle” wouldn’t give him a break
The hanger through his head now worn with age
He never could release that hidden rage
It’s a shame he had to live inside that cage
The monkeys teased him all the time
But I bet he drew the biggest line
Or so I do speculate
What does it matter at any rate?
He like the billions before
He had to break from this shell...
By tomorrow he was on his way
To sow another gap where darkness breeds
As a ummmmm lighting seed
Insect chips and all
Lighten when they break from Earth
“Universe” recalls them to further view “It’s” endless image
Mein “Raisin”, I believed it was true
The “Snorkle” (you said) had nothing on you
The Power drill surprised you in your sleep
Just yesterday they caught up with that creep
Evil as it may, I could not cry
(Discorporating from my shell)
That night, I heard a voice within me yell
(I felt much more at ease thinkin’):
Tomorrow you’d be on your way
To sow another gap where darkness breeds as a...
Lighting Seed!
