Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Buried beneath the big bending birch
Thinking of songs sung in a church
Left the porch and went on a search
Falling down from the highest perch
[Pre-Chorus] Belly up like a bloating whale
Waiting for a soul for sale
Wandering outside the rail
[Chorus] Now I am a small brown sparrow
Flying through the pass so narrow
Hunting down a fat pink worm
Finding land that feels quite firm
Glad to leave the old box coffin
Singing words I say too often
Nature is a funny thing indeed
Sowing such a strange and tiny seed
[Instrumental] [Verse 2] Skinny scaly lizard on the kitchen wall
Scared I might take a clumsy fall
Looking for a cricket short and tall
Watching humans have a fancy ball
[Pre-Chorus] Green tail wiggling on the brick
Movements feeling very quick
I just hope I do not get sick
[Chorus] Last year I was a bank teller
Hiding in a dark damp cellar
Now I eat the fuzzy flies
Looking out of yellow eyes
Scaling up the side of the house
Searching for a very tasty mouse
Nature is a funny thing indeed
Sowing such a strange and tiny seed
[Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Maybe next time I will be a dog
Barking at a lumpy mossy log
Sleeping through a thick grey morning fog
Sipping water from a swampy bog
Walking in the yard and round the bend
Until this silly life comes to an end
[Chorus] Life keeps moving in a spinning ring
Listen to the cycle as I sing
Every ending makes a brand new start
Beating in a wild and rhythmic heart
Glad I left that boring human frame
Trading in a very dusty name
Nature is a funny thing indeed
Sowing such a strange and tiny seed [Instrumental Outro]
