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 surprised
Your hair grew out to cover your new blisters
I tried to learn about your sin

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

That's when someone spoke
The crippled river decided his legs
Were not broke
And stood up above me
I watched as he choked
And threw up all the ships 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 feel so crazy
We are the things that were
And we shall be them again
Although these were all dreams
You will never wake from them

Hello, wanderer
I wish you'd let me talk to her
I have so much to say
Hello, magic man
Please teach me to stand again
There is so much to see
Hello, honey child
You sure can drive me wild
I wish you'd let me be
Hello, strangest stranger
I hate to put your life in danger
You are the one I seek

You must have lost your mind
Scratched off the warning sign
I watched the dancers bow
Just as the ghost wolf howled
