Roadkill Songtext
von Faun Fables

To the coyote lying dead
On the side of the highway
I′ve been through your land countless times
Without asking your leave

But now it seems that I am free
To go on my way
Where you left the broken with only
Burning father's sun

To grieve and bleach your bones
As white as the moon
As white as the yellow moon


To the vulture flying low
Along the line of the highway
You won′t have to wait very long
To eat your fill
'Cause the river of grey
That divides the horizon
Will surely leave a carcass in its wake
A twisted golden braid
Of fur and meat
Turning black

Black as the road

As black as the grey road
As black as the grey road

And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That meets itself
On the far side of the world
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That eats its tail
Beneath our feet

To the man selling blankets
On the side of the highway

The sign says you're friendly and nice
And I′ve no doubt that′s true


But one of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
A song that your grandfather knew
But your father forgot
And buried
And was paved over by the grey road
The same road
Where you walk now

As nice as a man
As nice as the last man
As nice as the last man

And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That meets itself
On the far side of the world
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That eats its tail
Beneath our feet

Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That meets itself
On the far side of the world
And the grey road (And the grey road)
Is the great worm (Is the great worm)
That eats its tail

Beneath our feet

Beneath our feet
That meets itself

That eats its tail
Beneath our feet
