Beetles on My Shoe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rain on the porch screen Moss on the brick step Little black beetles March where the crumbs slept They make a thin line Crossing my path slow Tiny armored drummers Heading where I don't know [Pre-Chorus] I lift my foot back Let the whole world pass Small as a secret Big as stained glass [Chorus] Beetles on my shoe Beetles on my shoe Tiny little kings Still moving through Beetles on my shoe Beetles on my shoe Even in the mud They know what to do (Beetles on my shoe) [Verse 2] Sun on the garden hose Shine on their shell backs One by the marigolds One by the compost stack I was chasing answers They were chasing rain I stood there overthinking They just kept on going plain [Pre-Chorus] I lift my foot back Let the whole world pass Small as a secret Big as stained glass [Chorus] Beetles on my shoe Beetles on my shoe Tiny little kings Still moving through Beetles on my shoe Beetles on my shoe Even in the mud They know what to do (Beetles on my shoe) [Bridge] Maybe that's the lesson No grand speech, no sign Just a hard little heartbeat Crossing one small line [Chorus] Beetles on my shoe Beetles on my shoe Tiny little kings Still moving through Beetles on my shoe Beetles on my shoe Even in the mud They know what to do (Beetles on my shoe)
