When I Was Done Dying歌詞

作詞 : Dan Deacon

When I was done dying
My conscience regained
So I began my struggle
A nothingness strained
Out a flash made of time
My new form blasted out
And it startled me so
And I burst out a shout
At which my legs ran frantic
Like birds from a nest
And I ran until drained
Leaving no choice but rest
So I fell asleep softly
At the edge of a cave
But I should have gone in deeper
But I'm not so brave
And like that I was torn out
And thrown in the sky
And I said all my prayers
Because surely I'll die
As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
How my skin did explode
Leaving only my shirt
But from shirt grew a tree
And then tree grew a fruit
And I became the seed
And that seed was a brute
And I clawed through the ground
With my roots and my leaves
And I tore up the shirt
And I ate up the sleeves
And they laughed out at me
And said "what is your plan?"
But their question was foreign
I could not understand
When then suddenly I'm ripped up
And placed into a mouth
And it swallowed me down at which time I head south
Hey ya ya
So I said
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Well I woke up to see them
These two mighty steeds
With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
As they stood there above me
Being flanked on each side
I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
So I reached up to touch
But they faded too soon
Yet their mouths still remained
And stacked up towards the moon
How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
But I knew had I touched them
They'd mouth back 'bye bye'
So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
And there deep in the distance
My eye caught a spark
Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
Oh it greeted me kindly
And then we all drank
And we drooled out together
Right onto the ground
And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around
And the earth looked at me
And said "Wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that
She wiped off my own face
She said better luck next time
Don't worry so much
Without ears I couldn't hear
I could just feel the touch
As I feel asleep softly
At the edge of a cave
But I should have gone deeper
But I'm not so brave
I said
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
