Click here for a timeline: 8,500 years of lead, 79 years of leaded

Lead Fishing lead
Lead in my wacky weed
Lead in my navy teeth
In the plate in my Saigon skull
In the tectonic plates
In the mouths of babes
In the crumbs of bread
In the birds
In the words we play
Lead on the walls pealing madly
Pleeling Lead off the ceiling
Sealing wax and lead
Lead a horse to unleaded waters
But you can't drive a horse to drink
