Lyrics

I'm just a part of everything I stand on two legs and I learned to sing It's not what was said and it's not what I heard I walk with my dog and I whistle with the bird Stuff coming out, stuff going in I'm just a part of everything Stuff coming out, stuff going in I'm just a part of everything So we think we really live apart 'Cause we got two legs, a brain and a heart We all belong to everything To the octopus' suckers and the buzzard's wing To the elephant's trunk and the buzzing bee's sting Stuff coming out, stuff going in I'm just a part of everything I'm just a part of everything I-O, I-O I'm coming out, I'm going in I-O, I-O I'm just a part of everything I learn like a baby, I learn like a seed Spread out my tubers wherever I need I find any way to attach and connect And I run like water, no cause or effect I got stuff coming out and stuff going in I'm just a part of everything Stuff coming out and stuff going in I'm just a part of everything When the panting is over and the warmth has run out Love will be flowing, I have no doubt With the vehicle in neutral and the ground to be faced I'll be all laid to rest in my proper place Into the roots of an old oak tree Where life can move freely in and out of me I'll have stuff coming out and stuff going in I'm just a part of everything I-O, I-O I'm coming out, I'm going in I-O, I-O I'm just a part of everything I-O, I-O I'm coming out, I'm going in I-O, I-O I'm just a part of everything
