lyrics

Walking down cold lurid aisles
Tense consumers bustle by
Like sardines cramped in a can
Just one list, one list, it’s written with a plan

Crumbled cakes with jam and cream
Jumbled nets of tangerines
Greens are stalking me, honey’s haunting me
But I wheel on.
And as I walk I’m singing

Dum da day da dabbada
Dum da day da dabbada
Dum da day dat da
It’s written with a plan

Old fruit boxes piled up high
Mothers break as babies cry
The air is close, too close to stand
Just one list, one list, it’s written with a plan

Bottles fall and water flows
And hidden signs point where to go
As chaos rains upon us
I reach out for cinnamon
And I wheel on.
As I walk I’m singing
