Born Again

Once I was a dying breed Chewin' on an ancient leaf Before we took the notion To keep up with the times And leave 'em all behind Chisel to the paper Tattoos on the ether Fadin' in the light All the while, I'd gorge my gut Come the time then I would rut Runnin' high and low to find my pre-historic queen To keep me warm 'til Spring When I'd go out with my friends Graze the land and wonder when I'd see your face again 'Til the day I met my doom I took one in the boiler room To put food on the table of a dying breed of man Once I was a broken heart And once I tore your heart apart Once my heart put out before I ever got to breathe But my soul returned to seed And come to Earth again Clucking out a livin' as the favorite layin' hen 'Til the day I met my doom A fox got in the chicken coop Doin' all he knew to do to feed a hungry den On and on, down the line I've swam canals and bore the hide Plenty births along this ride of being born again Once I was and you were too And we were both the word of truth We built this world together with a loud and mighty bang Lord, it sounded like a train And echoed o'er the land And we came up with a game to play of being born again
