Telephant - Song For An Ancestral Alien Lyrics

In a thin layer of iridium
In the bowels of the earth
I rest
I sleep
So long ago I was struck
Air filled my lungs

I walked and soon learned to dance
we bloomed
and emerged with a handful of millenia

Now we've been sleeping
Now we've been waiting for your return to earth
Do you see yourself in me?
Do you ever wonder?

Now I have seen the light of day
Now I feel saved
And a cloud rising up and away
In my new home on display

Now I've been meaning
Now I've been meaning to say
You'll always see yourself in me
Do you ever wonder?

I hope they understand that I'll be sleeping
Dreaming if the man was me
A long time ago
Did I ever wonder?
A long time ago
Did I ever wonder?
