I Got Bit

Had to sneak past the guard
Drive into the past
Clamber up the mast
To get where I'm
Shaking in my boots
With a bowl full of gold for you

I gotta tell you the truth

Baby, I got bit back there
We don't have much time
Till I turn into a porcupine
Mushrooms will grow out my feet
And I'll be shovelling sleet
All my life

So ride, baby, ride

I think the tigress is winning
The lioness is losing
But the lady panther prevails

If it looks like I'm killing time, stalling
Gnawing my tail
It might be that that's exactly what this story entails

A cowering structure on a beach
Made up of making sense
To the towering idea that it's all in our heads
And it's all out of reach

I gotta teach you

I got bit baby
There's no avoiding what a thing like that can do
You gotta be honest
I don't look too good
I'm on my way down now baby
To a place with no food
And a hunger that'll make you eat shoes

So dine, baby, dine

If you're running away from money
It means you believe in money
If you run away from love that's fair
But just know
That love will make you
Dye all of your hair white
And race the champion of love
To the inside of their lair

So ride, baby ride
