The spider eats the fly but the fly doesn’t die. Larvae turns into ladybugs and worms eat dirt. They’re squirming around on the top of the ground and they’re food for the birds. The wind keeps blowing and the grass keeps growing. The waves keep breaking, some pigs turn into bacon. The pill bug’s crawling around, as sparrows eat seeds off the ground. I am getting older, but what is age to a boulder? Centipede, centipede, you’ve got so many legs, passing by the ants carrying the queen’s eggs. It’s mating season, I feel this way about you for a reason. Life creates more life, I’m alive, I’m alive. You’re alive, you’re alive. Eating the fruit from the guava tree, sucking up its pink seeds and they’ll come out of me. So many different species of mushrooms grow out of feces. Bury a bat in the ground and the world keeps spinning around. Male spider with eight eyes checks out her eight spider thighs. I can’t help how I feel said the eel. I love the way he flaps his wings, I love the way she sings said the parrots. It’s no surprise I love to look into your eyes. We’re not going to live forever but life will live forever. I’m alive, I’m alive. You’re alive, you’re alive. We’re alive, we’re alive. I wrote this song on Easter and was inspired by fertility and life! Excuse the wind in the beginning. Wind happens!
