Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean lyrics
[Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean lyrics]
I slept all day i woke 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 counselor
And you can ask the king
And they'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 y'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
And in the dirt of the day
And the Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a white coat
And the Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a broad boat
And the water! Water!
Running clear beneath a white throat
And the hollow chatter
Of the talking of the Tadpoles
Who know th'outside! Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?
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 counselor
And you can ask the king
And they'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 y'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
And in the dirt of the day
And the Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a white coat
And the Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a broad boat
And the water! Water!
Running clear beneath a white throat
And the hollow chatter
Of the talking of the Tadpoles
Who know th'outside! Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?
