Read the full Curious Ruminant lyrics by Jethro Tull along with the music video, song credits, release information and other details about the song.

I count my life in seconds passed
In meeting minutes, hours surpass (?)
Days of quiet watching felt upper class
Flow through the years, wondering aloud

Needle matches spark my fires
Dissenting voices from steeple spires
Ring out across the woody hills
As brief as men march (?) daffodils

Asking “Why am I here?”
Answering “Why am I anywhere?”
Orbiting construct of Jung and Freud
Psycho dreaming asteroid

Faced with big questions, toss and turn
Unfit to frolic, unconcerned

Asking “Why am I here?”
Answering “Why am I anywhere?”
Orbiting construct of Jung and Freud
Psycho dreaming asteroid

Ruminant pleasures, write them down
Harsh adjective, improper noun
We consider each every day
I’ll change my viewpoint, shift and sway
See Jethro Tull LiveGet tickets as low as
No pedant pickle, soup, or stew
Sit on the fence, enjoy the view

Needle matches spark my fires
Dissenting voices from steeple spires
Ring out across the woody hills
As brief as men march (?) daffodils

Dead gone, detached from your reality

Pray, thinker, be kindly anyway
In wee hours you peer midst the gathering gloom
My ghostly whisper, “Cogito, ergo sum”
