That's the moss in the aforementioned verse

But he's never mentioned any verse before this point in the song, he had only mentioned moss. The verse isn't aforementioned, the moss is. The lyric should be:
"That's the aforementioned moss in the previous verse"
This has been a long-time bug bear of mine as well:

It still throws me off when they “fixed” the lyric to avalanche. I never anticipate that lyric and still expect the old one. I will never adjust.

The point is that its the MOSS that's 'aforementioned' not the verse that's 'aforementioned'. They never previously 'mentioned' the verse, they previously mentioned the moss.

It is a bit weird and the line in general is a bit weird even if it grammatically made sense lol. But its kinda fun

Ed has always used his poetic license to fuck with grammar and syntax.

Always thought this song live made them look like a more complete band - with Stone and Jeff doing the concurrent back up vocals.
Looking at the vid earlier there's the three vocalists in a line and mike just wandering around doing his thing haha!
