Supergenesis (Feat. The Mountain Goats)

In the twinkling of an eye, my sentence gets passed And I drop to the ground and I go slithering through the grass Carving out battle lines as I crawl Find a hollow branch to rest in, slip inside Wait for mice to poke their heads in, jaw hinged open wide Hang by my tail, listening for the call Cos someday, someday the call will sound We all, we all are gonna get up from the ground Feel the wet leaves pressed against me, cling like drowning men Try to hoist myself up right, try again Hold on to the memories all night And where my legs and arms once sprouted, skin is smooth and slick Rub the smooth spots on some rough rocks, I feel cold and sick Hold on to the battle plan, hold tight Cos someday, someday, the call will sound We all, we all are gonna get up from the ground
