Lyrics | Who’s That Moving
7. Who's That Moving
If you go out to the woods
on a warm wet night
and you stand real still
oh, you might feel fright
because everywhere
you can hear leaves move
is there something there,
is it coming for you?
Who’s that moving
through the darkness
under cover of the night
twigs are snapping
all around you
something’s there but out of sight
oh, the forest floor
is just covered with leaves
and on every warm night
worms come out to feed
up out of their holes
to pull down their food
yes, they eat dead leaves
the same ones moving round you
Who’s that moving
through the darkness
under cover of the night
twigs are snapping
all around you
something’s there
but out of sight
who’s that moving
through the darkness
under cover of the night
segments squeezing
seti braking
it’s a worm avoiding light
They relax and contract
and extend their front end
squeeze and release
their bristle brake anatomy
seti traction, yeah, hydraulic action,
it’s the squirmin’ worm physiology
yes on every warm night
worms move up and down
across the forest floor
and right through the ground
when they drag dead leaves
they rustle tussle and toil
then they get’ em back home
they turn them into soil
top soil
