Relate The Tale - King Creosote

How could the god of frogs

Have allowed this thing to happen?

How could the god of frogs

Have made this mistake?

Although I prayed for company

A hundred thousand times

I did not expect my prayers answered

All in the same day

On the same day

On the same day

On the same day

We hopped from the Nile

To every corner of the Pharaoh’s land

Hopped hopeful into homes and ovens

Weighed down by the Pharaoh’s sand

Amphibians were taking over

Now we had the chance — alas

Our transformation into princes

Was destined not to last

It seems we outstayed our welcome

Our dead rotting in their piles

But I for one went sneaking back

Into the bloodied Nile

With a message to croak forwards

To our future generations

If the day was but a plague of frogs

All else is an invention

An invention

How could the God of frogs

Have allowed this thing to happen?

How will the God of man

Relate the tale?

How could the God of frogs

Have allowed this thing to happen?

How will the God of man

Relate the tale?

Relate the tale (repeat until fade out)
