Sprout and the Bean

I slept all day Awoke with distaste And I railed And I raved That the difference between The sprout and the bean It is a golden ring It is a twisted string And you can ask the counsellor And you can ask the king And I'll say the same thing And it's a funny thing Should we go outside Should we go outside Should we break some bread Are you interested And as I said I slept as though dead Dreaming seamless dreams Of lead When you go away I am big-boned and fey In the dust of the day In the dirt of the day
