A porcupine tree is a very rare species of tree which sleeps all through the rash winter
Protected by thick sharp thorns all around the trunk and boughs. some thorns reach the astonishing
Lenght of 50 cm. fortunately, they are not poisonous or offer any danger to other living creatures except
Blind tree-huggers and zombies. to these i dont know never saw one, really. to those the thorns may cause
Numbness or foresightness depending on the blind tree-hugger starsign.
However, tree huggers from all over the world, blind or no, speak in whispers about the porcupine tree and its
Habitat. you see, when a specially bad winter rows away (and sometimes even in the summer a porcupine tree
Hibernates. real trees like that are older than worldly seasons and follow their individual time and rules). but, see,
When a specially bad winter for the tree rows away, the porcupine tree "wakes up" to put in a term we can all understand
And "shakes away", really like a dog shaking itself away from fleas or something, the tree shakes away all thorns which once
Removed from their vital connection with the tree, are all loosed like recently cooked spaghetti.
And at that exact and right moment it is said that at that rare and marvellous moment it is said that
Oh, porcupine tree
Oh, porcupine
You stand tall and broad
You stand tall and shine
Call on my name
Call jesus christ
Call out aloud
Please don´t be shy
Oh porcupine tree,
Oh porcupine
Stay please i´ll make coffee
Stronger than tar
Tranquilize me
Oh porcupine
For your troubles and worries
I can´t tranquilize
Oh porcupine tree
Oh porcupine
Don´t give up on me
Oh no don´t give up
I will be close
I´ll stay by your side
Till all deadly winters
Wither and die
Snore our protection
From them outside
Dream against dream
Hugs so tight
Oh porcupine tree
Oh porcupine
Warm comes the breeze
The winter just died
Wake widing eyes
Oh porcupine!
Yawn all you want
Yawn back to life
Shake all your thorns
From your slender bod'
Hear cracking bones
Around my own arms
Oh porcupine tree
Oh porcupine
