Go To The Woods

Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling

It's the woods! What do you see?

In all the spooky shadows, in the forest of green

Is there a windy path, angry ass woman who will eat you?

Sad-eyed lumberjack, savior who will greet you?

It's a different story for you and for me

Go to the woods and see

Out in the storybook land are many leagues of the wild

Wise and uncontainable as a windy-haired child

There are the youth truth movements and they're springing from the ground

Freak flag wavers and you cannot chop them down

Hey, it's the home of the brave, you'll get the threat of the free

Go to the woods and see

Are you afraid of the woods?

Are you afraid of the woods?

And if I was your memory, what would you do?

'Cause you know if you go back in time there's something waiting for you

You've got your forest path, reading, math, dappling of shade

You can just admit it, there's a promise that you made

And you can't have the past back, but you can hold me

Go to the woods and see

I am afraid of the woods

I am afraid of the woods

But what I fear more, what I fear most

More than the man, the beast, or the ghost

Is that the woods are disappearing

So when I go back, when I finally dare

You know the woods'll be gone

You know they just won't be there

Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling
