lyrics

When I had my legs I was a much crueler man But having a baby was never my plan So I ran away just like I always had On a blind arc round every last bend That train took my legs saved my life in the end Gave me back my gravity and Light years I just drifted a star seed thru space Past white dwarves and red giants nebula raging That train took my legs saved my life in the end Gave me back my gravity and Andante Andante my child you are free But there's always just one more frontier to reach I just sit in this chair making love sowing seeds That river is flowing inside me now see When I had my legs I was a much crueler man But now I'm as sweet as can be Yes now I'm as sweet as can be
