Green Conduit

Look at the stars Dreams of a place that my father has seen

Where the farmers and the gardeners have no king

What he saw was unmistakable

And it happened at a time of pure content

He gave up his job at the M.O.D.

24 years old he flowered

My old man was a gardener, asking

"Why the **** have we got thumbs?"

I know I know why

I know I know why

I know I know why

Now I know I know why

He had a great green appetite, asked

"When does gold turn silver?"

Then a message came through the green conduit

What he saw was a leprechaun

It let him know that we're not far

From a different world

And this story from my dad

Was one great tale that reeked of hope

I know I know why

I know I know why

I know I know why

Now I know I know why

I know I know
