Let's loose our limbs to lightning the ground
Let's poke, explode thunderclouds
Let's pull a one two, one one two
Let's pull our eyelids apart
Thyroid eyes, thyroid heart
Throb, throbbing limbs beat beat beat beat beat beat
Aww we look crazy and rabid
But I assure you it's pure joy
Unadulterated happiness
Oh boy, oh boy!
Aww we look crazy and rabid
But I assure you it's pure joy
Unadulterated happiness
Oh boy, oh boy!
Let's loose our limbs to lightning the groud
Let's poke, explode thunderclouds
Let's pull a one two, one one two
Let's pull our eyelids apart
Thyroid eyes, thyroid heart
Throb, throbbing limbs beat beat beat beat beat beat
Aww we look crazy and rabid
But I assure you it's pure joy
Unadulterated happiness
Oh boy, oh boy!
Aww we look crazy and rabid
But I assure you it's pure joy
Unadulterated happiness
Oh boy, oh boy!
My eyelids are strapped to the back of my skull
Do I seem suitably eh, eh, eh, eh, excited?
My eyelids are strapped to the back of my skull
Do I seem suitably eh, eh, eh, eh, excited?

You're the one who's sitting there
You haven't spent all morning on your hair
You haven't make-upped your face either
And your nails look not unlike human nails
And those eyes sending beams from beneath those glasses
Are twinkling through mere natural lashes
And every animated smile I see
I hope to christ is aimed at me
And the chit chat flowers are in full flirty bloom
Dazzling and choking with their fake perfume
And I'm wading through them towards you
You know I'm not going to fall for their subterfuge
Riiiiiiight?
I'm imaging a book
And they're the dustcover
And you're the ink and pulp
Well I'm imaging a book
And they're the dustcover
And you're the ink and pulp
I better stop this adoration from afar
Try to get to know who you truly are
The ridiculousness of the you I've constructed
Is the only bar i can imagine between us
But lo, and indeed, behold! It seems
Reality hovers miles above my limited dreams
It's hard to make this about you and not me
Without seeming crass beyond belief
And though it's been ten years and counting
Rather than staleness it's wonder that's growing
We're two tree trunks curled awkwardly into one
Sustaining each other with our smiling competition
Well I'm trying to get deeper looks at you
But it's as useful as trying to see the back of my own head
(without a mirror obviously (without two mirrors obviously))
I'm trying to count the things of yours that are distinctly yours
But why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why
lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

Brain burned ten thousand times in half of one earth hour
A giant white canvas in the sky
One future after another
I spent the rest of my life trying to keep my tabula rasa
For fear of forgetting even one image
A flashing vision of the final day
Twentysix years and counting
My task as I saw it was the grandest task of all
Why did god choose me as the redeemer of the world?
And in a cruel twist of fate
He swapped those reflections for all that I thought was logical
So with eyes ever unblinking I'll take these stills
Try to erase them from my skull
But I'm not merely a vessel to carry your cryptic messages forth
That thirty minutes was only the start of the time of mine you took
Every dab of paint was a pure memory
Not sullied at that inception by anything but blind belief
As the pigments dried on the board
A small cache of brain was freed
The more I painted the more I got to reclaim of meeeeee
I am a beautiful castle
A triumphant waaaaaaaar
The boards are stacking up god
Protect them from the witch
She'll cover them in soot and gore and then that'll be it
I'll be a rabbit on a roller
Watching a napkin wearing donkey turning into a zebra
Laughing at his shaved body
And his empty glass head
Wishing mine was glass too
(run rabbit run)
But I'm not merely a vessel to carry your cryptic messages forth
That thirty minutes was only the start of the time of mine you took
You took
You toooooook
uuuuh uhhh uuuuuh uuuuuh
uuuuh uhhh uuuuuh uuuuuh
uuuuh uhhh uuuuuh uuuuuh
lah lah laaah

We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
anybody here can leave
anybody who wants to leave
if we weren't before
we're all crazy now
We're all crazy, what?
We're all crazy, what?
We're all crazy, what?
We're all crazy, what?
Anybody here can leave
Anybody who wants to leave
If we weren't before
We're all crazy now

There's only one way for this journey to begin
You've to vaseline yourself up and dive right in
My mouth open so wide that my gullet may be seen
So hold your asthmatic breath and take a seat on my spleen
lah dah dah dah
lah dah dah
lah dah dah dah
lah dah dah
Write down with your plentiful acid ink
How your darting eyes see and your darting brain thinks
Attention to detial will aid us in our plight
When you return from this investigation full of might
We'll be singing
lah dah dah dah
lah dah dah
lah dah dah dah
lah dah dah
When you clamber up my gullet with your giant scraggy nailed hands
When you outline to me from these observances your battle plans
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
lah dah dah dah
lah dah dah
lah dah dah dah
lah dah dah
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on
We'll take anything on

I look at you all
Eyes bright
Notice almost every change in light
Every dancing shadow
Pointed ears alert
No tinnitus here
Sweet rushing blood
Sweet pumping blood
Cheeks becoming flushed
Pupils cavernous in the dusk
We've candles and flowers
What good are candles and flowers?
Hands flexing taut
Spine snapping cracking lost
ATP shallow breath
Hyperventilating
Wet throats screech
Gutteral whoops matched by leaps
Of astounding grace
Mirth mirrorred on every single face
Flashing teeth
Palms upraised
Palms release photons
Bubbling photons
All this potential energy
It's kinetic now
Let's dance until we've stumps for ...
Feet leaping north
Ideas charging forth
Nodding necks furrowed brows
Chattering jaws well and truly espouse
Synching brains
Charging neurons to flame
Ascending amazed
Awe dawns on every single face
Flashing teeth
Palms upraised
Palms release photons
Bubbling photons
All this potential energy
It's kinetic now
Let's dance until we've stumps for feet, feet, feet, feet, feet, feet, feet, feet, feet, feet
