Osana and Og Lyrics

OSANA AND OG

Og was a Neanderthal man fell asleep in a cave in Japan

The earth leaked a mysterious gas a hundred thousand years flew past

Osana went out picking daffodils on the slopes of Hokkaido's hills

She fell in a hole her ankle broke and in the darkness Og awoke

All these miracles make me wonder how can there not be a god

Guiding them through Osana and Og

The cave was deep the cave was wide they found food and water inside

Medicinal herbs so her leg could grow strong wood for a fire to keep them warm

Acquaintance proceeded by trial and error laughter when she tried braiding his hair

And the night before their rescuers came Og at last learned to speak her name

All these miracles make me wonder how can there not be a god

Guiding them through Osana and Og

A passing ranger heard their cries

Within the day the press had arrived

And soon Og was a celebrity

The emperor had them over for tea

But as they were walking back to their car

Osana felt a hand on her arm

And a man in a suit said no cause for alarm

We just have a few questions we mean him no harm

So they whisked Og off to a secret base

A converted luxury hotel space

Where they tested blood scraped DNA

Got some puzzling results back the very next day

Some puzzling results they asked Og to explain

They asked him and asked him again and again

And Osana she kept trying to call

But as spring turned to summer and summer to fall

Og could see he was there for the long haul

So he kept secret the most important Neanderthal secret of all

A year passed then his chance came

the guards were watching a baseball game

So he snuck out of the room quietly stepped out onto the balcony

He looked out on a distant glow

The far off lights of Hokkaido

And with the blood pounding in his veins

and his heart shouting out her name

He stepped up on the balcony rail calmed himself so his nerves wouldn't fail

And he thought of those scientists those clever men

And the truth that he had hidden from them

The secret he'd kept As he leapt

into the night sky

Neanderthal man can fly

All these miracles make me wonder

How can there not be a god

Guiding them through

The fortunate few

Like Osana and
