Long-A-Growing (Remastered) Lyrics

Steeleye Span Long-A-Growing (Remastered)

Every little step we take breaks the dreams
Of a warm pig itching to re-stitch the seams
Every little step we take breaks the dreams
Of a warm pig itching to re-stitch the seams
Every little step we take breaks the dreams
Of a warm pig itching to re-stitch the seams
Namsayin', when I walk, I wanna break concrete

Ox'll spit some shit that'll reflect off the mirror
My light beams are mad bright, they stay clever
Yo challenge an Ox member, get a vow severed
Found your body in the desert
(Scavenger's dessert)

Yeah, yea, I rap tight like Saran
Plus enter battles talkin' shit like, "Look mom, no hands"
I'm tired of cats tryin' to sum me
You can't add that far yet, that counting is far fetched

I treat MC like canines
Throwin' words at they face
To see if they bite when they catch

I told you my poetry sponsors Gillette
Now you standing there
Wit' razors in your head like baretts

Man, if the mic had ass cheeks
The sticker in my hand would say priority seating
And man, I dunno if it was me or you
But your girl was on my dick like she was teethen

You play the role, I'll play the poppy seed on top of you
The godspeed is actual, that doesn't mean I act usual
One of the first MC's to give the crowd full attention
'Cuz you need love and affection

If we could absorb every star in the sky
We noticed some shine brighter than others
You wonder why

It's the simple things in life
That turn the peasants into leaders
And we know the differences
Between the walkers and the sleepers

If we could absorb every star in the sky
We noticed some shine brighter than others
You wonder why

It's the simple things in life
That turn the peasants into leaders
And we know the differences
Between the walkers and the sleepers

I boogie with picket-a-vision, carbon based stickler
City piss aroma, therapy coma, clone sitter
Itching to pigeon hole villain soul magnet
Feelings activate

Passionate the germ and the book met the worm
I hold a book of matches captive to flashin'
For some need flatline

Be a thick fatigue episode, brewed in batches
Flirted curse at perked nurse, broken skeleton patches
One muddy veteran collapsed
The untapped resource center

Housing style pageants
My little limbs lassoed catered to wings
While mankind's babysteps break dirt and demon
I know a crossbreed strung well in the key of
Mass times weight times tame semantics

Encompassing that which splits lips
But never supply and demand it
To hell wit plastic, ooh yeah it's splendid
Tap it on the shoulder, grab it, tag it, apprehend it

Lend it to the devil of a friend it
Wrench it back, mend it again
It still never renders suspended
But finicky picket fences

Now every toy dreams to manufacture hearts
Start with the diving parts and the blueprints
You follow the precedence set by war pigs
Of a yester year, let the tears pray

Skip a stone over the reservoir
To shake the whole sharade
Hmm gun play the
Tumors platoon, I couldn't see

I fell asleep holding an Appleseed
Woke up holding a tree
The only bridge I ever burned
Along this legacy at dance
Was the one that linked
The cities of Prosperity and Chance

If we could absorb every star in the sky
We noticed some shine brighter than others
You wonder why

It's the simple things in life
That turn the peasants into leaders
And we know the differences
Between the walkers and the sleepers

If we could absorb every star in the sky
We noticed some shine brighter than others
You wonder why

It's the simple things in life
That turn the peasants into leaders
And we know the differences
Between the walkers and the sleepers
