lyrics

I’m gonna tell you a tale
Of weighty lore to tip the scale
With a moral of story
Full of figures who fight to fail

So put your money down here
Come over, lend me an ear
I’ll tell you ‘bout the wars I’ve seen
Tell you what I did in a year

I taught a panda to fight back
I put the grail in my backpack
I spent a day in the station
I bought a bean from a boy Jack

I rode a tiger to Bangkok
I tried a potion to unlock
All the wonders of a mortal man
I forced political deadlock

I’m singing a story for cheaper
I’m dishing them out to dig deeper
I bury, I burrow, I polish or cut
All acts I perpetrate are nothing but

Imagination’s indulgence
A fantasy with endorphins
Make it up as I go along
Tall tales and wild notions

I played the part of a good friend
I saw it all through to the end
I’m faithful, your confidant me
My will is of iron, it won’t bend

I made a home in the Great Wall
I put an end to the strip mall
I found a cure for the cancer
I smoked a lion to show gall

I built an army of small birds
I killed to decipher absurd
I picked a fight with a Cyllus
I broke a handful of records

I’m a wanderer down by the sea
I follow my whims, I lived in a tree
I keep all my memories, pruned to fill out
And I’m planting the seed

I’m singing a story for cheaper
I’m dishing them out to dig deeper
I bury, I burrow, I polish or cut
All acts I perpetrate are nothing but

Matters of inconsequence
Platters of incident accidents
Morsel-like moments of perchance
And tokens of happenstance

You can have it today
Don’t need a relay
You can have it in trade
For regret if you stayed

You can have it today
Don’t need a relay
You can have it in trade
For regret if you stayed
