Strum
D-DU-UDU
So  your name wasn't in the listing
Or  in the catalogue of lists
Or  in the error heavily listing.
Oh  how could your name be missed?
See  the bull moose
 Checking out another's  rack.
There's  no point in this.
There's  no point in getting  involved
When  the outcome cannot miss.
 No tracks in the snow, no laminar  flow,
 Can show you "where to go"
 Or "how to extract just where you're at"
 And not "become where you're from."
 'Cause you're not quite that isolatable.
 And all I'm thinking,
 I hope the blackflies don't carry me  away.
I  hope the blackflies don't carry me  away.
