Babes in the Woods - Ghost Twin

Operating close by the forest floor

Near her growing and decaying décor

All the lovely trees in this town I know

Like the elm and oak, ash and maple

Watch the seasons turn, be it fast or slow

Broken buds to fallen leaves on the snow

Trees that tower high as the people go

About their business of making ends meet

And procrastinating about nearly

Everything of value — if only we knew

We’re just babes in the woods

We’ve missed the teddy bar’s picnic

And there’s no going back now

Babes in th woods or something like that

Overhanging boughs cradle all our days

Know the way through this impossible maze

That the human race finds so commonplace

So oblivious and all is for shame

Saving everyday for vacation plane tickets

Hoping to escape the mundane

If we’d listen to the trees we would be amazed

About how they’ve long ago perfected

Out-of-body travel to Venus, Mars and Saturn

While down here we stay, so it seems to remain

Babes in the woods

We’ve missed the teddy bear’s picnic

And there’s no going back now

Babes in the Woods or something like that

We’re just a drop in the bucket

That thinks it’s a god

Babes in the woods or something like that
