Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pink little lamb
A granite slab
Black chasm creeping
Forever leaking
Oh universe
Sing in reverse
Oh sucking lung
We'll never come
Forever loving!
Forever waiting!
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
The universal mind!
[Verse 2]
Eye full of sun
Hand full of mud
Oh universe
You stink of love!
Forever lazy
Forever crazy
Forever holy
Forever hungry
Forever hateful
Forever beautiful
Forever needing
Forever reaching
Forever stinking
Forever breathing
Forever growing
Forever leaving
[Verse 3]
Oh shit and blood!
Forever love!
No ebb or flood
Will ever come!
Oh shit and blood!
Forever love, love, love!
Forever draining
Forever leaving
[Verse 4]
And what's my name?
And what's my name?
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
That universal mind!
