Verso 2: And to the action comes a character And he reveals a wish to see himself in ink so You take a pen you write a list called all the stages that the world begins And then the years relay the seasons You fill the sky, you give him means to lift his chin And then the tides relay the oceans You give him reason for believing That he's in some creation Verso 3: To make him grow you give him barriers To make him grow you give him barriers to fell Now, he wants to know if there's a narrator You dry the riverbed and so he builds a well And when the woman comes, he marries her And then the woman is another to himself Now, she wants to know if there's a narrator She wants to know if there's a narrative to tell Break Oo - ooh - Ooh - oo Oo - ooh - Ooh - oo And then the years relay the seasons You fill the sky, you give them means to lift their chins And then the tides relay the oceans You give them reason for believing And then the years relay the seasons You fill the sky, you give them means to lift their chins And then the tides relay the oceans You give her reason for believing That she's in some creation Outro Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation Creation
