lyrics

Beekeeper

Beekeeper, beekeeper it’s winter tonight
Must be so warm in their honeycomb hive
The season is early I don’t see why you rush
And you say it don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung
Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung
Whoa, oh, oh beekeeper
Beekeeper

Beekeeper, beekeeper no gossamer veil
You’re swarmed by the soldiers but never do wail
You move slowly with smoke clouds and billowing dust
And you say it don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung
Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung
Whoa, oh, oh beekeeper
Beekeeper

I heard as a child you were lied to and this ain’t your name
This must be just the truth and the calling you crave
Don’t the world look alright through these hexagon frames

Beekeeper, beekeeper I’ll never go home
I was too young when they left me in the cold
So I know I’ll find Eden when I find someone
You say it don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung
Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung
Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung
Whoa, oh, oh beekeeper
Beekeeper
