lyrics

Little worm little worm little worm
You’ve flown to Chicago
May your bones grow as tall as a beautiful tree
And I’ve thought and I’ve crawled and I’ve bought
But shoes, snow tunnels and Thoreau
Only fill in the gaps till I can bite into the apple
And you’re there

On the train
We’re thinking near or far
But shall we learn
To think right where we are
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Little snake little snake little snake
My darling and fatal snake
Swimming down deep and round in my beautiful waters
And the beautiful irony goes
Like my snake and the movie’s worm
He was more than a worm
Him’s a magical wizard

On the train
We’re thinking near or far
But shall we learn
To think right where we are
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

On the train
We’re thinking near or far
But shall we learn
To think right where we are
For the rest of our lives
Til the day that we die

Little worm little worm little worm
When you fly to Seattle
God help any frown that will not be turned upside down
Just give em “wow, gotta go”

about

John William Watkins Iowa

"Watkins has mastered the art of expressing human emotions in a way that keeps them relevant to anyone with heart, while remaining true to his specific experience. This is not the moon, or June romanticism enshrined in 20th-century pop songs. It’s something else: lovely and valuable."

-Kent Williams/Little Village
