Land of Goo

E G It was a cold night

E G but our fire kept us warm.

E G It's amazing that a piece of wood

E D C could take on such a form.

E G Fire, an ancient flame,

E G teased us with its lights.

E G Casting shadows of our sensuous shapes

E D C into the quiet night.

E G The silence was shattered by a wondering voice who

E G asked me to tell her a tale.

E G I sang a song of my encounter with a

E D C slimy shelless snail.

Am C Slugs, I sang, you might think

Am C truly are disgusting.

Am C They leave a trail of slimy goo,

Am G C they aren't worth discussing.

Am C But one slug I met while strolling

Am C through a meadow in the woods.

Am C gave to me a precious gift,

Am G C a treasure of slimy goods.

Am C Snopu was a special slug,

Am C regarded as a saint.

Am C and when I licked her slimy tail,

Am G C I fell down in a faint.

Am G C I fell down in a faint.

Am G C I fell down in a faint.

{slower tempo}

C F C I awoke in the Land of Goo,

C G C covered with sticky slime.

C F C Everything was stuck together

C G C and Snopu was in my Mind.

{original tempo}

E G Snopu crawled out my nose,

E G where she fed upon my snot.

E G She cleaned me out completly

E D C and I was getting hot.

E G I felt very clear, the

E G finest I ever had felt.

E G I ventured into Snopu, and

E D C I began to melt.

E D C and I began to melt.

E D C and I began to melt.

{slower tempo}

{hold C, let it flow}

C F C I emerged out the slimy trail

C G C Snopu left behind.

C F C I thanked her for the chance to taste her

C G C very special slime.

{original tempo}

Am C My story must have cast a spell,

Am C like our Fire burning through.

Am C My friend and I soon were covered

Am G C with slime from the Land of Goo.

Am G C with slime from the Land of Goo.

Am G with slime from the Land of Goo.

{fast tempo}

E G I want to take you to the Land of Goo

E G where we can act like slugs.

E G We can roll around along the ground

E D C and let our bodies rub.

E G We can share our slime in endless time, in

E G wild abandonment.

E G I'll stick to you like sticky glue and

E D C go where Snopu went.

E G Open your eyes you'll be surprised 'cause

E G slugs are all around.

E G So look and see that we are free to

E D C roll along the ground.
