Lyrics Relate The Tale - King Creosote

Relate The Tale

How could the god of frogs
Have allowed this thing to happen?
How could the god of frogs
Have made this mistake?
Although I prayed for company
A hundred thousand times
I did not expect my prayers answered
All in the same day
On the same day
On the same day
On the same day
We hopped from the Nile
To every corner of the Pharaoh’s land
Hopped hopeful into homes and ovens
Weighed down by the Pharaoh’s sand
Amphibians were taking over
Now we had the chance — alas
Our transformation into princes
Was destined not to last
It seems we outstayed our welcome
Our dead rotting in their piles
But I for one went sneaking back
Into the bloodied Nile
With a message to croak forwards
To our future generations
If the day was but a plague of frogs
All else is an invention
An invention
How could the God of frogs
Have allowed this thing to happen?
How will the God of man
Relate the tale?
How could the God of frogs
Have allowed this thing to happen?
How will the God of man
Relate the tale?
Relate the tale (repeat until fade out)
