Bugs & Flowers
Out in the forestOut past the stone wallBuilt by old farmersOr older guysI saw a railwayWith tracks all rustedWild flowers bloomingUp through the tidesI set out walkingJust cross-tie walkingOut on the cross-tiesWhere I could stepSometimes I missed oneSometimes there was noneSometimes the flowersHad eaten itThe sun was burningThe flies were churningThe trees were turningInside the skyThe tracks were rottenSome trash forgottenSometimes a bottle with ash insideSongtexteI've been a walkerA sidewalk talkerOut on the sidewalksWhere I could staySomeday my bodyWill look real shoddyWherever flowers have eaten itVoracious flowersVoracious hoursVoracious peopleVoracious slimeWords like voraciousJust sound like nonsenseAfter you say them about five timesThese flowers bloomingThey are not humanThese flies and insectsAre really weirdTheir backs are shinyTheir souls are tinyAnd by the zillionsThey've disappearedSo if there's life afterIt's packed with insectsIt's filled with flowersNo room for usWhen they kick the bucketThey just say chuck itThey come and go likeInfinite dustThe human race'sBeautiful facesChanging placesReform and bustWhen we kick the bucketLet's just say chuck itWe'll come and go likeInfinite dust
