[Spoken: This one's called "The Well"]
I could not work, so I threw a bottle into the woods
And then I felt bad for the doe paw and the rabbit paw
So I went looking for the pieces of the bottle that I threw
All because I couldn't work
I went deep, further than I could throw
I came upon an old abandoned well
All boarded over
With a drip hanging from the bucket still
Well, I watched that drip, but it would not drop
I watched that drip, but it would not drop
I knew what I had to do
Had to pull those boards off the well
When I got the boards off
I stared into the black black black
And you know I had to yell
Just to get my voice back
I guess everybody has their own thing
That they yell into a well
I gave it a couple o' hoots
A 'hello' and a 'fuck all y'all'
Hoot!
Hoot!
Hello?
Fuck all y'all
I guess everybody has their own thing
That they yell into a well
And as I stood like that
Staring into the black black black
I felt a cool, wet kiss
On the back of my neck
Dang! I knew if I stood up
The drip would roll down my back into no man's land
So I stayed like that
Staring into the black black black
Well, they say black is all colors at once
So I gave it my red rage, my yellow streak
The greenest parts of me and my blues
And I knew just what I had to do
I had to turn around and go back
And let that drip roll down my back
And I felt so bad
I felt so bad about that
But wouldn't you know?
When I turned to go, another drip was forming
On the bottom of the bucket
And I felt so good about that
