Spud Infinity - Big Thief

What’s it gonna take

What’s it gonna take

To free, the celestial bodies

From way down here it looks so small

From up there it looks so small

One peculiar organism, aren’t we all together

Everybody steps on ants

Everybody eats the plants

Everybody knows to dance even with just one finger

What’s it gonna take

What’s it gonna take

To free, the celestial bodies

When I took another look

The past was not a history book

That was just my linear perception

Ash to ask and dust to dusk

Dime a dozen, aren’t we just

And a dozen dimes will buy a crust of garlic bread

What’s it gonna take

What’s it gonna take

To free, the celestial bodies

When I say celestial

I mean extra-terrestrial

I mean accepting the alien you’ve rejected in your own heart

When I say heart I mean finished

The last one there is a potato Knish

Baking too long in the sun of spud infinity

When I say infinity I mean now

Kiss the one you are right now

Kiss your body up and down other than your elbows

'Cuz as for your elbows they’re on their own

Wandering like a rolling stone

Rubbing up against the edges of experience

What’s it gonna take

What’s it gonna take

What’s it gonna take

What’s it gonna take

To free, the celestial bodies
