lyrics

Slow dough rises with me in the morning
Slow dough keeps me up in the night
I don't know where it thinks it is going
I've been slow for all of my life

I know bread can be made from poetry
Sustenance you can get for a song
But it can take more than a lifetime to make it
The universe's verses are long

What do I have to offer the world now?
Half baked and dense, potential unmet
I have yeast in me yet I will reach you!
Or I'll get wherever I get

Now the world showers dough all around us
it lies here like the dew upon the grass
We gather it up, while praising the weather
though we know that this too shall pass

So take and eat - let's have our communion
You can have me all for yourself
Hurry up while I still can sustain you
Before I get stale and expire on a shelf
