	Story Behind the Song This one sounds like Stephen Jay Gould on drugs. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, the guitar might. Lyrics In the end there was a word, barely audible, predictably in Greek. We were squandered over rocks in open shells, squashed and buried by the billion until one of us could walk. And the rest, as they say, is heresy - amphibians dabbling in air the spongy flop into an undetermined world. On the eighth day the baby slept fast as a house-fed kitten. Any good scout knows that beatnik follows beatitude in the book of the house of random, and that fossils of fish found on mountains are God’s red herring - a test of faith, like the carbon fourteen molecule, or diving off a dock head first
