The Mountains of Nutrition

(by the traveller)

i miss the mountains where i roamed
through the valleys i'll make a home
spmetimes , lost , i'm all alone
but at least i'm happy an healthy
in the place where wild things go
i step along a crystal path
bordered by the fractal trees
i step off a cliff and laugh
and land in the water beneath

beyond the mountains there's a town
within the town , there's a bell
ringing whenever i'm around
like a pilgrim raising hell
that's me
victom of circumstance
and coincidence
it came about through happenstance
and lack of obedience

mountains stabilize me
I despise plains and flat land
these cities they excite me
but mountains make me glad



"if this song in any way resembles something written by Bjork
then that's just a coincidence , isn't it ? I wrote this song to
explain why I wanted to come back to Alabama after bieng in
Indiana so long ."
