Caterpillars - Andre Ethier

On a train, heading east of here Where I'll end up, I'm not quite clear But I can't help myself, I must be settling down Until they stop this thing, I'll get around When I hear it's been done before And I hear it's a simple thing Then I hear it's quite difficult And I hear almost everything Pass through deserts with mountain streams Outside my window, the scene's serene The day I find myself I'll be so very proud And I will not get passed up in the crowd When I hear it's been done before And I hear it's a simple thing Then I hear it's quite difficult And I hear Now I'm not trying to cut anyone down But I know it's been going on too long Simply doing what you feel is the best way not to go wrong But I know it seems crazy and it might be a struggle But I can't believe all this is true So I'm here and I'm uneasy, and I'm ready to go And I won't stop until this thing goes round and round And I can sing like I will never know When I hear it's been done before And I hear it's a simple thing Then I hear it's quite difficult And I hear When I hear it's been done before And I hear it's a simple thing Then I hear it's quite difficult And I hear almost everything Almost everything Almost every every every every every Every every every every every every little thing

Silvia was struck by lightning While reading in bed one night She left the windows open And the storm caught her by surprise For a day she laid here still as a stone Clipped to pumps and tubes Then out her window the street lights flashed And at last, her fingers moved She awoke to a cacophony Of electric radio waves Pulsing rays of energy Falling from outer space High and swaying towers Down in basements full of dust She could not escape the sterling Or the 60 cycle arm She moved on, tempted spectacles Several fur lion capes 3 pairs of velvet gloves A vain of dotted Swiss But all the earth's vibrations Still pounded through her ears So she packed a steamer trunk And flew a prop plane to Belize From there a log raft took her Over raging waterfalls Deep within uncharted jungle Where giant caterpillars crawl The spun their silk around her A cocoon between the trees And still she hangs there swinging Deep within the dripping leafs Keepin time with every rumble Every quiver of the earth And she slowly changes shape With the turning of the world
