Good choice, Jowy. That song is amazing.
Joanna Newsom - Monkey & Bear
A deceitful monkey and a dancing bear escape from captivity on a farm. In order to eat, the monkey convinces the bear to continue dancing in order to provide food, promising her that soon they will be in a land of plenty. So she dances for the children in a local village. One night the bear went away from the camp at night to bathe in the seaside caverns (maybe so she wouldn't be so scary to the children), and that scared the monkey, because he was afraid of spelunking down in those caves. The bear went far out, however, and didn't come back. Seemingly on purpose.
I would post the lyrics, but it's long, albeit comparatively short compared to some songs on the album.
