Where do snails go during the day?

They're probably somewhere playing video games

In reddish shades that crumple under six long legs

And I'd like to turn around

But I know I'm not that strong 

 Bb            F

But now we're reaching spring

At the chapel where the mantis pray 
      Bb   F 
And every day 
 C            F 
They lead me along 
      Bb      C     Dm 
The children hum a hymn 
       Bb       C    F 
And I'd like to run away 
         Bb         C    F   Bb   F 
But to leave would be a sin

Well, now I'm reaching spring

Probably just a dream

I should let go

Now it remains a dream
