Once a wordly man made his way across the earth
He saw a Chinese season, emerald trees and the worms laughing in the dirt
He would never rise the planets and the stars above
And dream a secret dream about the ones he loved

Once a slippery man made his way across the sea
He saw tiny fish and made a wish, and changed into you and me
They would float upon their backs to watch the stars above
And dream a secret dream about the ones they love

    General CommentThe above lyrics are for "Willowy Man" off of Elf Power's A Dream In Sound album. NOT "The Great Society."

    I've attempted them here:

    It's my past, no one's dead
    Birds are sleeping in your bed
    Spiders laugh, demons fly
    Babies jump over the fire
    Space has eaten off your face
    You won't need it anyway
    Heroes rest, ?? sleep
    In the great society

    Birds ?? no disease
    ?? swimming in the seas
    Giants roam through the woods
    Singing songs, feeling good
    Space has eaten off your face
    You won't need it anyway
    Birds are nest, thunder sleep
    In the great society
