Strange Companion
Noe Venable
They beat him til he broke in two
Bit harder than they meant
No driver but the aching world
It falls and loves descent
Trees on tiptoe looking up
A million eyes a blinking hill
No clutching hand to turn me on
No foot to force my thrill
They beat him til he broke in two
And half of him they locked in me
I didn't see which half it was
They neutralled me and set me free
Does unattached a head still dream?
Do legs still ramble on?
The sun appears the forest screams
It is a flash and then is gone
Oh my strange companion
Oh my strange companion
And nature comes to welcome us
With tiny jaws and little grins
(I didn't know she's everywhere
I'd never ever seen her win)
We'll cry you and I, be together til we die
It's great just you wait, listen to the freeway
One year, maybe dear, somebody will find us here
But now, funny how nature has her way with me
Does unattached a head still dream?
Do legs still ramble on?
The sun appears the forest screams
It is a flash and then is gone
Oh my strange companion
Oh my strange companion
Pirates by the roadside
But they don't want me
Pirates by the roadside
To set the metal free
