Ginger's Lament Lyrics - Gingerbread Man - Residents

There once was a woman who once was a man 

Who thought that he did but did not understand. 

There once was a hermit who held in his hand 

The heart of a lonely and unattached man. 

There once was a soldier who stood in the sand 

Saluting the sun when he wanted to dance. 

There once was a butcher come back from the dead 

He opened his mind and took poison instead. 

There once was a weaver who wished for a fool 

To live down below her and hand up her tools. 

There once was a species who filled up the world 

With lust, love, confusion, talk, tacos, and turds.
