about

This song was written about events in episode 1 of season 2 of the 'Dice to Meet You' podcast, online at dicetomeetyou.com/2016/12/16/s02e01-the-goddess-repose/ , and was recorded during the following episode.

lyrics

A cat said to a human mouse,
"Let's to the Goddess go."
A goat and bear gave their consent,
And so they made it so.

They travelled months, then they arrived.
They spoke the magic words.
A lizard asked a favor, so
they put away their swords.

They came upon a room of bells
Hanging on ropes and string.
The mouse rappelled across the room,
Without a single 'ding'.

The bear came next. He followed on,
Across the room he swung.
We braced ourselves for racket -- yet
The bells remained un-rung.

This cat's adventured many years.
He's seen an awful lot.
He's seen kind acts, and brave ones, too,
Oft done without forethought.

And so he asks you to trust him,
For he says just what he means:
That bear swinging across the ropes
Was the craziest thing he's ever seen.

[solo over first verse]
