lyrics

Tonight (a song about mushrooms)
walking the land that killed my father's father
finding the place where the atom broke
i trip on a branch and fall hard to the ground
i rise to my knees and through the smoke

crawling uneasily with the world's disdain
a possum turns an ugly eye to me
the weight of an ancient and evolving history
starts to unfold as she says forcefully

if you want to put the world aright
go underground go underground tonight
if you want to put the world aright
go underground go underground tonight
go underground go underground tonight

walking away from the home that once knew me
looking for a place that's all my own
i search for connections but there is no network
i yearn in the smallest way to be known

and then crawling over trash in my back alley
a possum turns an ugly eye to me
the weight of an ancient and evolving history
starts to unfold as she says forcefully

if you want to put the world aright ...

walking towards a future that must hold me
searching for life in a new way
i dig my hands down into the deep rich soil
i pause, and then turn to face the day
