animals.

have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in it's mouth


it's no use in worrying about time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners


the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers 
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water


i wouldn't want to be faster 
or greener than now if you were with me O you 
were the best of all my days
