lyrics

a cancer sun
a leo sun
the cat and the crustacean
wondering where the rams gone

the ram they knew wasn’t full grown
didn’t have her horns in
had a lot of thorns in her hooves and
they never had to feel the cane of a shepherd or the sheering knife

the cat and crustacean did watch one day
the ram say
im keeping that which keeps me warm
ill let it grow in all the colors its commanding
you won’t recover me
I’m not just simply lost

the ram she hardly looks a ram now
but something much wiser and sager
her horns grown and promptly shaved

the small crustaceans only just now discovering what there is outside of a molted shell
the cat waits for something nobody knows what
her motives are uncertain for the time, oh well

a cancer sun
a leo sun
the cat and the crustacean
wondering where the rams gone
