The fourth song of our E.P. Waterberg.
This song started with a picture, drawn by Amo's son. There was this song by The Beatles, "Lucy in the Sky with diamonds".
lyrics
The Earthswallower is a friendly man
He's got his friend at the rocket ramp
They ask you "come play with me".
They play their games in a serious way
Pictures rise from an unknown world
They ask you "come play with me".
They ask you "come join the band".
They ask you "come taste the band".
So tell me why are we so blind to see
Every man has got a different view
The Eartswallower is sitting on my knee
Gorgeous wonderfull this world must be
Somewhere it's hidden deep in me
The Eartswallower is your rescue plan
He looks for you when you don't expect
They ask you "come play with me".
Spiderman is around with him
Superman is a friend as well
They ask you "come play with me".
They ask you "come join the band".
They ask you "come taste the band".
So tell me why are we so blind to see
Every man has got a different view
The Eartswallower is sitting on my knee
Gorgeous wonderfull this world must be
Somewhere it's hidden deep in me
