mushroom river lyrics

The trees are alive
They held their arms up high
And with a whisper they sighed
Your name against the wind

Your skin was so prized
Your head grew out to cover
Your new blisters
I've tried
To learn all that you're saying

I used to be you
And you used to be me
Her body is a drug
That's why you've been so crazy
We are the things that were
And we shall be them again
Although these were our dreams
We'll never wake from them

That's when someone spoke
The crippled ripped a piece off
And his legs were not broke
And stood up over me

I watched as he choked
And threw up all those shrooms
That had been buried
I woke
With you next to me

I used to be you
And you used to be me
Her body is a drug
That's why you've been so crazy
We are the things that were
And we shall be them again
Although these were our dreams
You will never wake from them

Hello wanderer I
Wish I never talked to her I
So much to say

Hello magic mirror please
Two spoons will stand again there
There is so much to see

And hello honey child
You sure can drive me wild
I wish you let me be

And hello stranger, stranger
I hate to put your life in danger
You are the one I see

You watched your life go by
Scratch out the warning signs
I watched the dessert spill
Just as the ghost walked out
