| Like a flock of birds
|
| Or a pod of dolphins
|
| A bellowing of bullfinches
|
| A fling of dunlins
|
| Like a mob of kangaroos
|
| A brood of hens
|
| A bazaar of guillemots
|
| Just like a band of jays
|
| A shrewdness of apes
|
| A deceit of lapwings
|
| Like a host of sparrows
|
| A trip of wildfowls
|
| A mutation of thrushes
|
| Like an army of ants
|
| An ostentation of peacocks
|
| A down of rabbits
|
| Like a rumba of rattlesnakes
|
| A run of salmon
|
| A bob of seals
|
| Like a kettle of hawks
|
| A nest of hornets
|
| A gam of whales
|
| A quiver of cobras
|
| A dole of doves
|
| A shoal of shads
|
| A company of angelfish
|
| A glint of goldfish
|
| A knot of toads
|
| Did you ever have a go?
|
| Everyone must have a go
|
| It’s your next Penrose step
|
| Ones that have spent their time on Earth
|
| Have a different kind of glow
|
| You put it on hold
|
| But soon you’re given birth
|
| You leave everything
|
| Say goodbye to your worlds
|
| All your worlds, all your pretty little worlds
|
| Like a bloat of hippopotami
|
| A warren of wombats
|
| A zeal of zebras
|
| Like a generation of vipers
|
| A bale of turtles
|
| Streak of tigers
|
| A glen of herring
|
| A hover of trout
|
| A wisdom of owls
|
| A murmuration of starlings
|
| A dray of squirrels
|
| A spring or harem of seals
|
| Like a drove of sheep
|
| A leash of foxes
|
| A skein of geese
|
| A tower of giraffes
|
| A knot of frogs
|
| A memory of elephants
|
| A weyr of dragons
|
| So you decide to have a go
|
| And everybody has to know
|
| It’s your time
|
| All the ones that have spent their time on Earth
|
| Have a different kind of flow
|
| So you thought that you just might
|
| Let go of holding light
|
| We have the same thought
|
| At the same time, after time
|
| Never running out of time
|
| Our movements trace invisible patterns
|
| We draw in the sky using no eyes
|
| A living matrix, hexagonal, atonal
|
| A framework of sound as we’re letting you down
|
| A shower of rain, a bevy of ladies
|
| A blush of boys, an ambush of toys
|
| A den of thieves, a coven of witches
|
| A worship of reads, a curse of painters
|
| Like a conspiracy of ravens
|
| A brace of thrush of ducks
|
| A mask of raccoons
|
| A crash of rhinos
|
| A mute of hounds
|
| A warren of rabbits
|
| A turn of turtles
|
| Like a shiver of sharks
|
| A span of mules
|
| A school of sea stars
|
| A gulp of cormorants
|
| So zebrine
|
| So hipptigrine
|
| So eranaceine
|
| So helminthic
|
| And so formic
|
| Anisopterian
|
| Iguinine
|
| Pteropine
|
| So it seems
|
| So galagine
|
| So perfect
|
| So hyenine
|
| All the ones that have spent their time on Earth
|
| They’ve lived lives you’ll never know
|
| Now you want to go down there
|
| Though you will know it will hurt
|
| Let go of your worlds, all your worlds
|
| All your pretty little worlds
|
| All your worlds, all your pretty little worlds |
