Ten Ton Chicken

words and music - Gary Morrell

Song 9 of

 The New Moon Project, released 6/14/26

There’s always the way that we wanted it to go

and then there’s what actually happens

I am right here. Talk to me

How can I fix what I don’t know is broken

Intentions are irrelevant

only actual outcomes matter

There’s rarely a right way just a plateful of less wrong

Let’s just stay here for a moment

The Entropist will soothe and pound

She’ll wind you up and then grind you down

Just in case you were wondering

                  Just in case                   

It’s always been this way it seems

Climb the ramp and then go clean

Just in case you were wondering

                  Just in case                   

As long as you can see the next step

you can walk the entire way there

The problem with now, you can’t do it twice

We’re lost like raindrops falling in puddles

The Entropist will soothe and pound

She’ll wind you up and then grind you down

Just in case you were wondering

                  Just in case                   

She’ll always love you till the end

Losing heat around the bend

What we do will be what we did

                  Oh what have we done
