Fraternity – The Race Pt 2 lyrics

Album: Livestock

I knew an old man
Let me tell ya, his tale
About how he suffered
In the jaws of a whale
He was just kinda thinkin
Pondering his fate
When the whale got his orders
and his reprieve came to late

And it all goes round so slowly
You can almost see it bend
By the time you reach the starting line
The Race is gonna end

I knew an old woman
Sold apples and pears
In a corner of heaven
Outside the stairs
And she'd sell for a penny
What would cost you a pound
And she'd give you
A mountain
For an acre of ground

And it all goes round so slowly
You can almost see it bend
By the time you reach the starting line
The Race is gonna end

Some children get pencils
While others get pens
Some write "I love you"
While others say "we're just friends"
Some tigers get jungled
While others get caged
Some people get youngered
While others get aged

And it all goes round so slowly
You can almost see it bend
By the time you reach the starting line
The Race is gonna end
