lyrics

I said "I knew it from the start,
we'd best carve another Ark
and then leave this crumblin bastard to himself

we can build it all anew
both the good earth and sky blue"
and I said I'd meet you on the other side of life

then you told me which way
the wind was blowin true
so that I could set my sail before night grew

and I gathered up my cause
cloven hoof and dirty paw
and said I'd meet you on the other side of life

it was 40 days of rain
we were battered wet and raw
my only friends were all those coupled animals

and they hardly said a word
cept one garrulous gull bird
who said he was waiting to see the other side of life

and we finally did hit
a sandy little beach
where the air was soft and smooth and crisp and sweet

and I drew it in my lungs
but in my mind missed everyone
and that's my story of the other side of life
