Lyrics Strangefolk - Kula Shaker

Strangefolk

Once up on a time, a long, long time ago
There was a planet floating all alone in space
Miraculously it sustained many forms of life
Living and non-living creatures
And they would all take great pleasure
In watching the heavens above them
Revolving in perfect harmonic order
Before televisions or radios existed
Before Comcasts or Internet pornography
Hadn’t even been imagined
Families would gather around the fire
And they would tell folk stories
To pass the time and take wisdom from the elders
Once up on a time
A god asked a great king
What is the most amazing thing in the world?
The king replied, that everyday
A million souls pass into the of death
And yet none believes that they shall follow
