The ancient Gods went on a fishing trip
Tried to catch the world's largest serpent
Coiled 'round the globe
She would not succumb
But you know the Gods they will not be
They will not be undone
So they asked a question of the Northern Woods:
Who caught the fish when no one else could?
So they took our man
To the night sky
See him hauling catches for all
For all of time
We don't believe these stories we tell
Though we still see the shapes in the clouds
We don't believe these stories we tell
But we're casting you
In these imaginary plays
We do it all, we do it all
Just to see your face
It's not easy to be the god of revelry
Give the people bliss but do not let it turn to fury
Dionysus must have grown
Tired and weary
Trying to get folks to let go
Let go of their fear
Who amongst you knows about bliss?
Who can ride a chariot while still givin' a kiss?
So Dionysus took our wild one
Now she's throwing parties at the top
The top of the mountain
We don't believe these stories we tell
Though we still see the shapes in the clouds
We don't believe these stories we tell
But we're casting you
In these imaginary plays
We do it all, we do it all
Just to see your face
Oh
Ursa Major and the Minor Bear
Musta been looking just about everywhere
For a pair with a light so bright
They could light up the whole northern sky
Oh
And these stories we tell
We know they're not true
But well tell them still
So we can always
Remember you
