How The Flesh Dances And How The Flesh Plays How the flesh toils and spins through its days See the flesh happy and strapping and young See the flesh sagging and dragging and glum

Sssssshhhhh....

Hear now the giggling See shadows grow Step down the hallway Each door aglow Watch now the ceiling Sweet cradle rocks Who made these puppets? Who made this clock?

Ancient hand on the cradle Withered lips form a song Golden wheels spinning backward Withered hand becomes young

The hands can spin Spin then slow The clock is wound afresh But is the key Turned this time

By fingers made of flesh?
