Mountain Goats, The
Supergenesis
In the twinkling of an eye, my sentence gets passedAnd I drop to the ground and I go slithering through the grassCarving out battle lines as I crawlFind a hollow branch to rest in, slip insideWait for mice to poke their heads in, jaw hinged open wideHang by my tail, listening for the callCos someday, someday the call will soundWe all, we all are gonna get up from the groundFeel the wet leaves pressed against me, cling like drowning menTry to hoist myself up right, try again, Hold on to the memories all nightAnd where my legs and arms once sprouted, skin is smooth and slickRub the smooth spots on some rough rocks, I feel cold and sickHold on to the battle plan, hold tightCos someday, someday, the call will soundWe all, we all are gonna get up from the ground.
