Lyrics Sprout and the Bean - Joanna Newsom
I
slept
all
day
I
woke
with
distaste
And
I
railed
And
I
raved
That
the
difference
between
The
sprout
and
the
bean
It
is
a
golden
ring
It
is
a
twisted
string
And
you
can
ask
the
counselor
And
you
can
ask
the
king
And
I'll
say
the
same
thing
And
it's
a
funny
thing
Should
we
go
outside
Should
we
go
outside
Should
we
break
some
bread
Are
you
interested
And
as
I
said
I
slept
as
though
dead
Dreaming
seamless
dreams
Of
lead
When
you
go
away
I
am
big-boned
and
fey
In
the
dust
of
the
day
In
the
dirt
of
the
day
And
Danger!
Danger!
Drawing
near
them
was
a
white
coat
And
Danger!
Danger!
Drawing
near
them
was
a
broad
boat
And
the
water!
Water!
Running
clear
beneath
a
white
throat
And
the
hollow
chatter
of
the
talking
of
the
Tadpoles
Who
know
the
outside
Should
we
go
outside
Should
we
break
some
bread
Are
you
interested
