Lyrics:

Extra clever earthbound spirit

Ghost in the form of a mongoose

And I have hands and I have feet

I'll never die, I am a freak

Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall

I know, I might be small but I am a freak

Thou wilt never know what I am

I am the fifth dimension and I will split the atom

And if you see me, you're paralyzed

Pillar of salt, you're mummified

Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall

I know, I might be small but I am the eighth wonder

And I was born 1852

And I was born in India

And I shall haunt like the Buggane

With such weird noise and clanking chains

Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall

I know, I might be small but I am a freak

I say "vanished" to underground

Jim, let me go, I watch like hell

And I have hands, and I have feet

I'll never die, I am a freak

Hello, I'm here, I'm living in the wall

I know, I might be small, but I am the eighth wonder

Eighth wonder of the world

You'll never get to see

What in the name of god can I be?

I think the song does a wonderful job of conveying the idea of a small scurrying supernatural creature that is mischievous rather than evil

Honestly I don't think Gef was bad. Just a small little creature with a gift from god! He lives on as the TRUE 8th wonder of the world. May he be happy where ever he is!

In my worthless opinion, this is your best song. Love that you took a random story from the early 1900s and turned it into such a beautiful song. Keep it going :)

This song is awesome, and I love the video! I love how Neil puts so much effort into everything he does, whether it be a song, video, or anything he does, making his work really unique. I really love that! <3I'm sort of wondering if this creature he's talking about is based off a creature, possibly from Indian folklore? I mean I'm sure he's smart enough to invent something like this himself, but I wonder if some of it was inspired by something like that.Either way, fantastic job! I love lyrics like this that describe something in quite a lot of detail but still leave people guessing ^^

I finally found this song after furiously searching on the internet after god damn mongooses for soon 2 hours. I studied lores, myths and legends to finally remember what the background of this song was. Finally I found Gef the Talking Mongoose, and it led me directly to this song. I love it so much!

I read about Gef when I was very young and I just suddenly remembered the story, googled " talking mongoose ghost", not expecting any results ( had no idea it was actually a famous tale) found the wikipedia article and saw the link...so here I am. Neil never ceases to surprise, does he?

HOw does this only have 476k views?! My gosh.I remember reading a book in elementary school that had the story of "Gef" in it. I told this story before via youtube comments...... I'll never forget the pic, which was Gef looking through a hole in the ceiling and the family just going apeshit. haha

The Wall Street Journal had an article about Gef the Mongoose today. I finally know what this song is about.

I have been listening to you since I was small. This is my favorite song of all time. I literally want a tattoo of the lyrics of this. I am 4'10 so I feel small and lost a lot of the time. You are a badass Neil.
