"Man changes and is variable
but Nature remains the same.
The Sun and the Moon and all the Things go on
in spite of Man, he crumbles..."
covered in soil
soil for salt
til the forces wash it off
no one can tell who will be saved
when the final bell tolls who will cave
i've been loving you
i can see through
every wall you built with barnacle
and your tabernacle
with your little limbs
and your tiny toes
cause you
have a choice...
you gonna take it off?
i been
chasing differences through the night
does it make a difference
if you're a fox or a hound?
it may take all night
to work these problems out
no sight of home, chasing...
being chased...
no sight of home, chasing...
being chased...
