Child of the Universe

Robyn Hitchcock · Luminous Groove [2008]

Everybody misses you but

Nobody shoots

You're the kind of animal that

Moves around on roots



Child of the universe

You do not understand what gets you round



Everybody dances but they

Don't leave no shape

You're descended from someone but it

Sure ain't the ape



Child of the universe

You cannot feel and think at the same time



Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you

Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you



Turn me on

Turn me on



I saw you yesterday by

The abandoned rail

You're the kind of animal that

Swallows its own tail



Child of the universe

Your universe is getting very hot



Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you

Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you



Deep inside the womb of life

Silent raindrops fall

Deep inside the womb of life

Tears begin to fall

Deep inside the womb of life

I cannot hear at all



Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you

Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you

Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you

Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you

Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you

Dot-to-dot you

Dop you, like you
