• they said "when in Rome"
    so he buried the bones
    and they left him alone
    far away from his home

    run along now dog, run back
    this is too big and too black
    and there's a spoor all over from bears
    or something just as scary

    if this is so enlightening
    why does it feel so dark and deep
    and if its not so frightening
    why don't you go ahead and leap

    four hundred billion suns
    little pink houses, foreign tongues
    half a million boots, native drums
    no wonder this song was left unsung

    wandering aimless alone on the road
    in search of a poor schmo to carry him home
    ferry his soul and bury his bones
