lyrics

Natural Philosophy
Has always been something of a whore
I found myself in undergrowth
With bugs I’d never seen before

Too numerous to catalogue
In fevered dreams I count them all
Orchids of the palest hue
And trees one thousand meters tall

In the foothills of the mountain range
We met a man named Al-Haroun
For a little of the local coin
He took us up in his hot air balloon

Quite barren were the mountain sides
But some creatures managed to survive
And at twenty-seven thousand feet
I saw the highest fly alive

My love
My love
My love
My taxonomic love
