Andrew Bird - Masterswarm lyrics
[Andrew Bird - Masterswarm lyrics]
We come here to swarm
Come by sea swarm like smoke in the dung
We were the young we were the swarm
Radiolarians midges and Moths
Cut from a cloth we were the young
We were the swarm
Flailing feudal fleas
Feeding from the arms of the master
Burrow into me
This is sure to misspell disaster
Oh and their young in the larval stage
Orchestrating plays
In vestments of translucent alabaster
So, they took me to the hospital
They put my body through a scan
What they saw there would impress them all
For inside me grows a man
He speaks with perfect diction
As he orders my eviction
As he acts with more conviction than I
Burrow into me
This was sure to misspell disaster
Burrow into me
Feeding from the arms of the master
We were the young we were the swarm
We were the young radiolarians come what may
