Lyrics
I'm off on a trip
Every time I find a clue
So if you wonder where I am—
Just let me drift, won't you?
You say I'm not a mushroom—
Not quite, not really…
Well then,
What makes a mushroom mushroom-y?
A plant? An animal?
A riddle with no key.
Even mushrooms have the right
To wonder who they are at night.
If you’re in a bind,
I’ll send my spores to find you
But while I wander through the sky,
Please don't mind if I lose time too.
You say I’m not a mushroom—
Too weird, too dreamy…
Well then,
What makes a mushroom mushroom-esque?
A bacterium? An amoeba?
Both would fail the test.
Even mushrooms have a say
In what they want to be today.
