Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - The Donkey-Headed Adversary Of Humanity Opens the Discussion lyrics

The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity opens the book The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity opens the discussion I am the adversary And must remain the adversary I am not yours to embrace I am not yours to invoke The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity sleeps in the hall Watches for signs of our imminent demise in the scratchings on the wall The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity sleeps in the park Listens for sounds of our eminent decay in the singing of a solitary lark Mankind is a plague Breathing hell into every corner of the rotting earth Even now in this our finest hour I feel the hate of every stone, tree and flower Even now we fall under the long shadow of the donkey's ears Even now we listen for the slow grinding of the donkey's teeth Lalala, we weep in the din of the stomping of the donkey's black hoof Lalala, we weep for the slow coming of the dance of our doom Mankind is a plague Breathing hell into every corner of the rotting earth Even now in this our finest hour I feel the hate of every stone, tree & flower Eaters of the soil take us into the ground (d**h by worm) Eaters of the air drive us from the blue (d**h by sparrow) Eaters of the sea take us into the green (d**h by eel) Eaters of the scraps take in our beds (d**h by dog) Eaters of the soil take us into the ground (d**h by sand) Eaters of the air drive us from the sky (d**h by flower) Eaters of the green take us into the sea (d**h by water) Eaters of the scraps take us in our beds (d**h by stone) d**h by silence d**h by sorrow The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity closes the book The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity closes the discussion
