There is and there ain’t wisdom on the tongue of the fool.
There is and there ain’t better things to think if not to do.
The crone showed off her one good fang,
Moving the clouds in the sky with her ring.
We had always thought it was an apple just kind of hanging where you had to use your brain.
There is and there ain’t a moral to the stories that you live.
There is and there ain’t reason to remember to forgive.
All the ghosts came back to town.
We had only run out of tobacco on the way down.
We had always thought it was an answer just kind of hanging where you had to use your brain.
There is and there ain’t an ending you will someday get to see.
There is and there ain’t other ways to be.
Here comes the fairy that lives inside
The only kind of story that will always survive.
We had always thought it was a blessing just kind of hanging where you had to use your brain.
What the hell did you expect to see, a secret understanding on his face?
What the hell did you expect to be, a prophet of the opposite of space?
Shift your breathing unto mine.
Never will you see before the origin of time,
All that was and all to come hereafter just kind of hanging where you have to use your brain.
