Strangefolk - Kula Shaker

Once up on a time, a long, long time ago

There was a planet floating all alone in space

Miraculously it sustained many forms of life

Living and non-living creatures

And they would all take great pleasure

In watching the heavens above them

Revolving in perfect harmonic order

Before televisions or radios existed

Before Comcasts or Internet pornography

Hadn’t even been imagined

Families would gather around the fire

And they would tell folk stories

To pass the time and take wisdom from the elders

Once up on a time

A god asked a great king

What is the most amazing thing in the world?

The king replied, that everyday

A million souls pass into the of death

And yet none believes that they shall follow
