Lyrics for The Velvet Ant

Wingless wasp, the velvet ant. The cow on slanted land settles To the lower most corner of the pen. Chicken wire and it's either side imprisonment, And the iwndows all stacked up Under the farm barn awning. Two small girls and a handful of dressed men Walk a cage full of goats across a basketball court, Goats with rectangled pupils. A rattle snake caught in a wheel well. Starwberry in an ostrich throat. All this and more at a pyramii video shoot.
