Lyrics

He’d been having trouble with students who had nothing to say. At first he thought it was laziness that would go away. but it became apparent that They, just couldn’t think of what to say. One of them, a girl with strong-lensed glasses, grease black hair, he'd seen her in his classes. She wanted to write about our great nation. But was having trouble with her explanation. He told her to focus on Montana. That her writing didn't need to take her to Louisiana. In fact he said, just write about Bozeman. Then come back here in a week to hand it in. [hook] Every ol'thing is a world unto itself. A fractal that trends down ta hell. If you're look'n at some'n like that from far awa-a-aayyyy. When you'r search'n for somethingggg to sa-A-ayyy. It'll do you good to get reeeeal close to the display. Write what you see and you'll know the way. But when the paper came due she didn't have it. By a glace at her face you'd reckon she was upset. Looking down at her he asked what's your name? [Sharlet speaks in a young female's voice]"Sharlet." Her timid answer came. Alright Sharlet. you seem sweet. So, why don't you go ahead and just write about Main Street. One week passed and Sharlet was back in the same place. This time tears streamed down her face! She'd gone and tried the street, but nothing was in reach. Sharlet said [young female vocalist] "Please help me teach". Now he was about to burst, but at that very moment, through divine intervention. Bayes had given him a revelation. [Hook] Every ol'thing is a world unto itself. A fractal that trends down ta hell. Everyplace has it's story to te-e-ellll. Just like the rings of an oak tree's shell. To Sharlet he said, narrow it dow-ow-own. Start with with the top left brick of any building in town. The next time he saw her, with a puzzled look. That girl Sharlet, handed him a book. She'd started with the first brick. Then moved onto the next. Then before long, she'd finished the text. He looked down at her and was perplexed. [music begins swelling] Sharlet was kind enough to offer some context. She said... [Hook] [young female vocalist]"every ol'thing is a world unto itself. A fractal that trends down ta hell. Everything has it's story to te-e-ellll. Like the ring of the liberty bell. Da-da da, Da-da da, da-dadidida. When you're stuck looki'n far. Don't know where you are? Write what you observe Instead of what you know. Da-da da, Da-da da, da-dadidida."
