Mewithoutyou - Fig with a Bellyache lyrics

rate me

the Camel in the desert took a ship across the lake

while the Fish in search of water found a Fig with a bellyache

who overheard the waves as they headed for the shore:

we’re not so sure of separations anymore!

at the Caterpillar picnic Brother Butterfly stole a rhubarb stem,

licked and dipped it in the sugar bowl

caught out for Massachusetts in a double-stack train

through the Adirondacks, spinning like a weathervane

gathering & cutting & splitting & stacking the wood

our fuel is neatly piled and we all feel good

we pretend to care and like we understand

our eyes go soft, but know it now:

what we’re thinking about’s your mammary glands

and how to sail your birth canal

we found a pot to fit the lid, to

know less now than when we were smarter did

our thoughts are like a teabag on the saucer -

all the flavor gone

the Dog below our waist’s aroused

as arms embrace the pretty Gals

but came much more as a surprise

it happening while I hugged the Guys!

we planted before the final frost and

once were found but now we’re lost

we’ve got a heckuva lot to learn

about remaining Taciturn
