Conrad
Lyricist:John Bell, John Hermann, Michael Houser, Todd Nance, Donmingo Ortiz, David Schools
Conrad the Caterpillar thought he was really killer [Unverified] Spent all his days eatin' leaves in the shade And stayed when the night set, too
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a thriller Soon as the threads was spun Wouldn't stop to play in the Caterpillar Games Till his own webbing game was done
He said, 'No, no, I got no time to play Got a thousand little legs That don't get me too far in a day I'm leaving, looks like I can't stay'
That little pillar he found him a willow Spun in with a craftsman's weave Wound so tightly to protect him from the light And all shapes of water that drop from the leaves
Conrad the Caterpillar knew he would be a chiller And he wound it tighter some more Wound it so wide and the ends of his legs got sore
He said, 'No, now I can't feel my feet Just when I thought it was time to take a stroll on down the street I'm leaving, looks like I can't leave, what do you know? What's all this moving around with inside me?
What kind of 'pillar could touch the world of a miller Chopping trees to build a new store Nobody sees a lonely bump on the tree Except a lump who's crying for more
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a chiller As he wound it tighter some more Anybody stands in the caterpillar's place is moving in a standing run
He said, 'No brother, I just need some room to fly I spent all of my days just trying to keep dry Oh I'd take a waterfall or a drop from my eye I can't see nothin' from here anyway I might as well make room and try, might as well try
Oh no, I just need a little room to play Got a thousand little wings And I'm gonna use them all today I'm leaving, it looks like I gotta stay
