INTO THE EARTH

This fennel tea that you bought for me

Well it does its magic discretely

I wrote this song for you, it's true

In our only south facing room

See I don't know what the future holds

But I hope we face it together

Cause rock and roll has got so old

Just give me neo-soul

 

Into the earth our bodies will go

We got to keep it all fluid

Into the earth our bodies will go

You're gonna keep me good looking

 

You've seen the colour of my cash

Does it not impress, was I way too flash?

Are you backing away from me?

Calm down Yoshi

The fungi is helping this fun-guy deliver

When I get high I dance all night

I'll sing you Al Green songs

I'm just trying to gently blur the lines

With my trusty sensimilia

Don't be so jaded or so coy

When you could just be familiar

 

Into the earth our bodies will go

We got to keep it all fluid

Into the earth our bodies will go

You're gonna keep me good looking

Take a lover start a life

And try to keep an open mind

I'll dress up for you, I scrub up nice

I'll make your mother proud

I'll make your momma proud

 

And if I stop

I won't go hungry

Cause I know how to steal

I got to thank my older brothers

For keeping me real

 

Into the earth our bodies will go

We got to keep it all fluid

Into the earth our bodies will go

You're gonna keep me good looking

Take a lover start a life

And try to keep an open mind

I'll dress up for you, I scrub up nice

I'll make your mother proud

I'll make your momma proud
