about
This song is about the complex relationship between myself as child and the world of insects. A relationship of love, fascination and.... occasional murder.
lyrics
To all the creeping things, that creep upon the earth
rollie pollies, Salamanders living in the dirt
Today was the fourth best day of my life
I caught a praying mantis alive
I showed my moms friend what I had got
I thought he’d be amazed, he was not
I watch the spider build her web
Until I’m called inside for bed
While I slept she caught a fly
She melted it’s guts then sucked it dry,
To all the creeping things, that creep upon the earth
baby lizards, caterpillars crawling down my shirt
We don’t have fireflies where I’m from
But a swarm of gnats lit by the sun
Looks like the birth of the universe
as I fly through on my swing
Then one of you guys flies inside
My open mouth right past my smile
I cough and hack until I’m hoarse
then I finally spit up his soggy corpse… what a way to go
To all the creeping things that creep upon the earth
Rollie pollies, salamanders living in the dirt
Lady bug on my finger, stay as long as you please
I’ll do my best to hold still but I think I have to sneeze
I’ve had a tadpole since last fall,
He never did turn into a frog
But I will give him my birthday wish
So he don’t keep livin’ like a fish
And I’m so sorry Mr. Snail
for that time I put salt on your tail
You bubbled and oozed, and writhed with pain
I didn’t know what to so I squashed…. your brain
To all the creeping things that creep upon the earth
Baby lizards, Caterpillars crawling down my shirt
Today was the fourth worst day of my life,
I threw a rock at a honey hive
I tried to run, but bees are fast
I tried to hide, but bees are smart
…At least my mom let me watch TV
But she also let my brother watch TV
Which isn’t fair ‘cuase he wasn’t stung by bees!
To all the creeping things, that creep upon the earth
rolly pollies, Salamanders living in the dirt
Tiny toad on my shoulder I know you’d rather be free
But I feel myself getting older, and do enjoy your company
