Life's Cornucopia Lyrics

Life's cornucopia

Mouth all a'gushing green

Full, every feaster fades

Fog framed in rain



Sir, s'that a watch you wear?

Ma'am, with your bird feather hair!

You shells, you complacent snails

Stoned, slumped and stale



Are you starving?



This is a poison plate

Cooked by the face run numbered grinning gates

You can refuse, be saved

Would it be nice to buy some time to...



Sit and stare for days at stars and lights on satellites

Your eyes going dry but never quite

Glossing over?

Though shades of place may lose it's sight

Till your mindless

Why not be timeless?



Life's cornucopia

Spilling out, spilling out
