lyrics

There was a time
swimming in the ocean slime of your mother
you were the size of a pinprick
then you were the size of a dime

You sported gills like a fish
when you grew legs, you did kick, kick, kick
you couldn't dream of a life outside
when you slipped out with a scream

You knew you knew nothing
when you were small
then, as a teen, you thought you knew everything
at sixty-two, you thought you knew a thing or two
but you died knowing nothing at all

You took your last trip in a seaplane
sprinkling your ashes in the Chesapeake bay
a minnow will feast and be nourished on a speck of you
lay its eggs and start it again
