F#m/A
I fed upon the rotting fruit
Split the stalk and held the shoot
F#11/E
Spread the spores with every labored breath
F#m/A
Spit dissolved a mushroom head
Stretched the tendons 'till they snapped
F#11/E
I gathered up the shells with bandaged hands
F#m/A
To grow the meat of life
F#11/E
I will plant my seed

To grow the meat of life
F#11/E

F#m/A
I fed upon the ripened fruit
Naked 'neath the monkey suit(?)
F#11/E
The feasting eggs found shelter in my shade

Their tiny tongues invade the crops
Unblinking eyes receive the drops
F#11/E
The crackling fire lulled me back to sleep
