[Verse 1] He left with a cap of red in a cloth sack by dawn past the butcher’s yard and the pond where the geese kept on He said, "I know a door" in the hush of the pines one step past the ordinary and the whole world unwinds Little white feet in the moss stone faces in the rain every root had a memory every shadow had a name [Pre-Chorus] And the path bent low then folded in two I saw seven moons in the puddles he blew [Chorus] Mushroom Traveler, go where the dead stars grow Mushroom Traveler, show me what the lost ones know Mushroom Traveler, whoa take me under slow (where the edges break) (where the edges break) [Verse 2] He crossed the river of clocks where the hands all swam and a fox with a silver cough called out from the reeds like a man He climbed the house of bones where the wind wore a crown and the walls turned inside out every time he looked down A choir of beetles sang from the crack in the sky he bowed to a field of mirrors and watched his old name fly [Pre-Chorus] Then the sky split open like a fruit in flight and the dark began to glitter with light [Chorus] Mushroom Traveler, go where the dead stars grow Mushroom Traveler, show me what the lost ones know Mushroom Traveler, whoa take me under slow (where the edges break) (where the edges break) [Bridge] He met a woman in jade with a lantern of snow she said, "Truth has no border but it wears a disguise, you know" So he traded his fear for a thread of gold and the mountain turned to water as his story got told [Final Chorus] Mushroom Traveler, go where the dead stars grow Mushroom Traveler, show me what the lost ones know Mushroom Traveler, whoa bring the dawn back home (where the edges break) (where the edges break)
