A Very Cellular Song

Winter was cold and the clothing was thin but the gentle shepherd calls the tune
Dear mother what shall I do first please your eyes and then your ears, Jenny
Exchanging love tokens say goodnight
Lay down my dear sister won't you lay and take your rest?
Won't you lay your head upon your saviors breast?
And I love you but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Lord, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

One of these mornings bright and early and fine goodnight, goodnight
Not a cricket, not a spirit going to shout me on goodnight, goodnight
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death goodnight, goodnight
And his rod and his staff shall comfort me goodnight, goodnight
John, the wine he saw the sign goodnight, goodnight
John say, "I seen a number of signs" goodnight, goodnight
Tell a for the ark that wonderful boat goodnight, goodnight
You know they built it on the land getting water to float goodnight, goodnight
Tell B for the beast at the ending of the wood goodnight, goodnight
You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good goodnight, goodnight
I remember quite well, I remember quite well goodnight, goodnight
And I was walking in Jerusalem just like John goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Who would lose and who would bruise or who would live quite prettily?
And who would love what comes along and fill the air with joyous song
Who would go and who would come or who would simply linger?
And who would hide behind your chair and steal your crystallized ginger?
Nebulous nearnesses cry to me at this timeless moment someone dear to me
Wants me near, makes me high I can hear vibrations fly
Through mangoes, pomegranates and planes all the same
When it reaches me and teaches me to sigh
Who would be a mouse and who would be a lion or who would be the tamer?
And who would hear directions clear from the unnameable namer?
Who would skip and who would plot or who would lie quite stilly?
And who would ride backwards on a giraffe stopping every so often to laugh

Amoebas are very small there's absolutely no strife
Living the timeless life, I don't need a wife living the timeless life
If I need a friend I just give a wriggle split right down the middle
And when I look there's two of me both as handsome as can be
Here we go slithering, here we go slithering and squelching on
Here we go slithering, here we go slithering and squelching on
There's absolutely no strife living the timeless life
Black hair, brown hair feather and scale seed and stamen and all unnamed lives that live
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Feel the energy projection of my cells wishes you well

May the long time sun shine upon you all love surround you
And the pure light within you guide you all the way on
May the long time sun shine upon you all love surround you
And the pure light within you guide you all the way on
May the long time sun shine upon you all love surround you
And the pure light within you guide you all the way on
