lyrics

Little tiny creatures clinging to the face of the earth
Little tiny creatures clinging to the face of the earth
They don't what it's worth as they crawl and struggle just to find their way
Believin' in a grand design's a blind leap of faith

Tiny little creatures mechanically return to their homes
(All the creatures have their place of rest)
Spinning on a speck of dust and rising with the dawn
(We are all a product of the sun)
They’ll all have come and gone in a flash of time they do not understand
(In a flash of time they don’t understand)
Livin is just livin and it aint thinkin about the end
(We’re too busy tryin to have some fun)
Flyin high above the houses lookin just like toys
(tiny creatures with their tiny toys)
Everything is smooth and easy high above all the noise)

(little tiny creatures clinging to the earth never understanding what their lives are worth)
(floating in the blackness of the universe, crying with laughter on the bright blue earth)
(You may think that I don’t think it means a thing bein a tiny creature in the heart of spring)

Tiny Creatures, Tiny creatures, it’s all good
(Ahhhhh)

Tiny fine creatures floating up into the sun
(tiny creatures, tiny little creatures)
Glidin sly pelicans lookin like they’re havin fun
(Sly pelicans are havin their fun)
It’s just a spark of luck in a time and place we find hard to believe
(A world of magic we find hard to believe)
We are all just tiny creatures livin in a dream
(tiny creatures aren’t as real as they seem)
And if you’re feelin like the world is gonna pass you by
(don’t feel the world is gonna pass you by)
We are all just tiny creatures hanging on for the ride

(little tiny creatures clinging to the earth never understanding what their lives are worth)
(floating in the blackness of the universe, crying with laughter on the bright blue earth)
(You may think that I don’t think it means a thing bein a tiny creature in the heart of spring)

Tiny Creatures, Tiny creatures, it’s all good
(Ahhhhh)

I would love to fingerpick and sing just like Blind Blake but as everyone knows, this is like becoming the Buddha.
