I Would Rather Bid You Lie with Me
A storm shook the sky nine times, it shook me up too
I have come here to hear you out, I know you see a road leading out
Don't take it just yet, I will tell you this much
That road ends at a great river
The river splits into three
You can make your hard choice now, or make it then
The river out is no simpler than you and me
Notice, the shades are remaining silent
The oracle's tongue is tied
This is how her magic works
She owns many, many pigs and she works so hard
I, too, see a trail for me, I see snakes all down that road
And tobacco, I would just as soon stay here and smoke with you
Might you send me in exile to the land of blue men?
Why, yes, and most of my friends are there
I would rather point to the parrots passing through the clouds and bid you lie with me
Bid you lie with me
