lyrics

And when the fuzzer climbed the chip bag I'd profaned the park with
I knew it was only because you were there beside me
One summer later you would save a ladybug from drowning
She dried her wings on your fingers and then flew away

Your earthen energy's complete
I see it in the leaves
In Far Rockaway seas
All encompasing
And Hannah, if they need your whole day
Or ship you up the Metro North
And tell you what your art is worth
Just say, "no way, no way."

Those fuzzers must say things you can't translate for me
Like how to be a bug in a city
But we're still warbling in esoteric tongues
And trying to figure out

What they have to say
What they have to say
What they have to say
At least I think so

What they have to say
What they have to say
What they have to say
I must learn

What they have to say
What they have to say
What they have to say
Before my time has gone bed
