lyrics

An army of ancients can rise from the ground
And tear every nation apart
And I'd still be sitting there counting my cards
Wondering when will it stop

The oceans and forests could collide into one
And my [unknown] in a spark
And I'd still be sitting there twiddling my thumbs
Wondering when will it stop

How did the fox get the rave and the crows?
I got it, I got it
Oh yeah

Why at the creek did the dog lose the bone?
I got it, I got it
Oh yeah

The man can come back on his fiery thrown
To measure the failures in heart
And I'd still be whistling dixie alone
Wondering when will it stop

I don't want to wake up, I don't want to move
I'd ask and assume it'd stick to the boot
I'm sorry
Well, I take what I want in the dawn's early light

How did the fox get the rave and the crow?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Why did the hen pick grains in the snow
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Why did the brother bury his gold?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Where took the ref when the kids came along?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Why did the mouse help the bees with the floor?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
