with my hands on the bloodstone i start singing a melody
pointed posted ears are transmogrifying a better me
the brown-haired human is calling out "i don't wanna die"
but the ruddy-head elf assured him he's in for a nice surprise
roll elf roll
and may luck be on your side
roll elf roll
and may luck be on thy side
roll elf roll
and may luck be on your side
roll elf roll
and may luck be on thy side
touch the golden earth
and see what you can find
roll elf roll
and may luck be on thy side

If I could speak my mind
I would better articulate the things I need
But I’m not that advanced, I’m only an ape
If you prick me, do I not bleed?
I feel like a new John Daniel
A King Kong man in a world evolved beyond me,
A primitive thing at home in the grass
With a new world’s weight levelled upon me
(John Daniel)
I’m only walking on my hind legs in a suit
(John Daniel)
A raison d’etre’s as good as a piece of fruit
I’m only chasing simple pleasures with a simple mind
I’m just a simple being of a simple kind
“I am flowers, animals”
Are the thoughts that escape my grunting mouth and gesturing hands
“Man stupid! Man stupid!”
I huff out my nose to anyone who can understand
You sign me a question like “Are we not men?”
And I wouldn’t even know where to start
All levels but physical, I’m an old world beast
With a Brassau penchant for art
(John Daniel)
I’m only walking on my hind legs in a suit
(John Daniel)
A raison d’etre’s as good as a piece of fruit
I’m only chasing simple pleasures with a simple mind
I’m just a simple being of a simple kind
He makes his bed and drinks his tea
Just like a real homo sapiens
He plays with the kids and he goes to school
Just like a real hairless ape, he yearns
He looks in the mirror and copies his friend
Maybe he knows as much as you can know
More than can be seen with a prehensile mind
But he’s still looking for a natural home
etc.
