lyrics

The moment we're born each and every one of us
is entered in the hitman's list, and when he shoots
he does not miss

Nuclear tests in the Nevada desert
childhood cancer didn't exist 'til the 1950s
Now it's the second leading cause
of childhood death

Nuclear waste in the Columbia River
babies born with Strontium-90 in their teeth
It's hard not to be a bit cynical, a bit nihilistic
Peanut butter is carcinogenic
Sunscreen goes straight to the bloodstream
The world we've made is poison


I was alone except for the spiders on my wall
I was in bed but my bed was getting very tall
or perhaps the sky was just getting very small
or perhaps I just did not exist at all

I thought I was alone
but then there were the gnomes
living by my side
inside my snow globe

I was alone
except for the spiders
on my wall


And here is what the chorus formed
by the spiders and the night sky
and the gnomes in my snow globe
said to me:

Death is birthed from fresh dirt

Death is birthed from fresh dirt
you are both earth and worm

Death is birthed from fresh dirt
you are an earthen worm

Death is birthed from fresh dirt
you are both earth and worm

Death is birthed from fresh dirt
you are
but earth
