Toast with Tea
03:35

A celebration to the world not stopped by the individual, it's peace
We toast with tea
A transformation to a time reaching for the highest high, the peak
We toast with tea
A new idea, new melody, an unrelated tambourine, we sing
We toast with tea
Escape from the ambassador, annihilate the amateur, we're free
We toast with tea
The storms are gone all clouds have cleared, celebrations fill the square, its spring
We toast with tea
Forces down and turned away, end the blame blowout the flame, agreed
We toast with tea
The sound of cheers across the street, a box revealed and then she sees the ring
We toast with tea
Arrival to another year, heres to you we've made it here with speed
We toast with tea
A toast with tea is what I need today
Don't be afraid to let that vision go away
Keeps the day alive and all connections sane
A stimulating feeling for the brain

The Manatee

First I'm gonna take a dive right into the ocean
Then I'll swim with the fishes in the sea
Then I'm gonna crawl right out of that ocean
Holding hands with a manatee
Ooo I bated you, I certainly hooked it up
Ooo located you, didn't let you drop
Ooo I hired you, and let you do the work
Ooo desired you, you caught the hook
And the Aplomado's come flying in
And the bugs and the insects slip under our skin
Forward steady motion smoke forms in the sky
Turquoise bluish sunset lovely day in July
First I'm gonna take a dive right into the ocean
Then I'll swim with the fishes in the sea
Then I'm gonna crawl right out of that ocean
Holding hands with a manatee
Sailing back to land she's sleeping
One hand on wheel and feeling good
I see the sunset off in the distance
No place to be where I rather would
First I'm gonna take a dive right into the ocean
Then I'll swim with the fishes in the sea
Then I'm gonna crawl right out of that ocean
Holding hands with a manatee
So we stand in the chapel of the city
Sweat dripping down she can hardly breathe
I think I'm just lucky to be a winner
Won over the great manatee
And the Aplomado's come flying in
And the bugs and the insects slip under our skin
Forward steady motion smoke forms in the sky
Turquoise bluish sunset lovely day in July

Soaring high above the clouds no one's gonna see me
Dropping marbles down below if its the one thing that I'm doing
Laughing stocks of noblemen now who's the one who's laughing?
Standing on a tablerock, below those are those who's mocking
Step by step into the woods, no woes or cares are given
Following the only road the only road that's moving
Plant the seed and laugh some more, run straight on down the road
I'm lifted up and blasted off, oh boy here we go
Simba Simba Lines
Simba Simba Lines
Simba Simba Lines
Simba Simba Lines
Looks like paradise to me, but not to her degree
Some think the scenery feels like a ripple, they're not focused on the key
You notice there no plan? No blueprint for a man
Who's life's just kicking it forward until he finally kicks the can
You're reckless reality is my every day life spree
All them reds are greens all greens I see and there's nothing inbetween
So lets all hop on the train, and go to work insane
There's no busy day if all you're gonna do is choo choo choo those
Simba Simba Lines
Simba Simba Lines
Simba Simba Lines
Simba Simba Lines
Our shoes are wet, and fingers numb, and we're singing in the rain
Yelling at the sky again, you're the reason why we came
I reach for your hand, you reach for mine, we shake and do a spin
Screaming loud and feeling proud, we start singing again

Touché
06:45

Another night, another star
Another fight at another bar
Does all matter weigh more than we know?
Another tale from afar
And we all end up where we start
We were all waiting for the group at the café
I see from another room a pair who didn't pay
A bill slides out a wallet, but a sir gets in my way
Now all I have to say's touché
Why does this weigh
Oh so little?
All these familiar circles with their own piece of entity
But now that we solved this riddle
Touché!
A few years later, I was thieved and got the worst
To be a thief or a robber, there is no greater thirst
Another bad story, another sad day
And all I have to say's touché
Why does this weigh
Oh so little?
All these familiar circles with their own piece of entity
But now that we solved this riddle
Touché!

Years of patterns
Specifically of standards
Questions gone unanswered
With no publicity
If they're all distorted
Operation's been aborted
You'll see everything's more simple
Than the end propriety
Old books cant tell the story
If most are simply allegory
All written to form seclusions
And desirability
But there's much more to desire
Such as standing on highwire
All things with no remittance
Other than self greed
And the fumes they come with life
With diseases moving through them
But we can move around the strife
Just silence all the mayhem
Take a pencil, jot it down, and write a story of your own
Take a journey, travel places, plot a map when you're alone
Seek your wonders, seek adventures, travel north into the breeze
No hesitation, expectations, form your own conformity
Now reverse it
Lets take all the land born creatures
The planet's terrain features
And stuff them in the sea
Gold turns into pennies
Then the dollars turn to twentys
All the leaves turn into money
So expensive turns to free
If it would all be unessential
We'd be given full potential
Education's exploration
What we want be come the needs
It's an overwhelming cycle
Devoted to survival
But strive to be above it
Look down enjoy the scene
And the fumes they come with life
With diseases moving through them
But we can move around the strife
Just silence all the mayhem
Take a pencil, jot it down, and write a story of your own
Take a journey, travel places, plot a map when you're alone
Seek your wonders, seek adventures, travel north into the breeze
No hesitation, expectations, form your own conformity

Knew me
And you didn't even know my name
Sued me
And you didn't even know my name
And you didn't even know my name
Screwed me
And you didn't even know my
And you didn't even know my
And you didn't even know my
And you didn't even know
And you didn't even know my name
And you didn't even know my name (x4)

Please don't beg
Please don't beg
If its what you will
Please don't pout
Its your doubt
You'll get your thrill
It's just a show
Your thoughts showed glow
But they're so absurd
It's too late
You want that bate
But you're vision's blurred
It's not a hard call when you're feeling stoned
It's the seventeenth you did not condone
Must we live in this autocracy?
When dick turk runs the ministry
It's not a hard call when you're feeling stoned
It's the seventeenth you did not condone
Must we live in this autocracy?
When dick turk runs the ministry
Dear oh dear
What have we here
Eight screaming clowns
It's not enough
No not enough
To break your crown
Don't be mad
No don't be mad
Just try and smirk
Cause if you're way head
But then shot dead
You've been dick turk'd
It's not a hard call when you're feeling stoned
It's the seventeenth you did not condone
Must we live in this autocracy?
When dick turk runs the ministry

Overflow the ocean grows shrinks back into a sea
Oh oh overflowing
Overgrow the grass it flows leveled out now with the trees
Oh oh overgrowing
A glimpse of light and shattered glass but blood's too thick to hoard the past
Oh oh simply knowing
First obey then next you choose your wish or dream or brainwashed views
Oh oh first obeying
Overflow the ocean grows shrinks back into a sea
Oh oh overflowing

The years I spent fishin' and trying to get away
My life spent bitchin' it's never been the same
The grimace grow guides and shows my grotesque ways
The journey of a simple man fleeing the town today
Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again
The sun scorches me a cigarette, and I've been dealt a spade
It'll only be a little bit until I get to the center stage
The crow he whistles, he carries thistle, and I'm behind his tail
He's not like a snake, the path he takes, I must take as well
Fallen trees, brown colored leaves, obstruct the trail
The symphony sings a threnody, I can tell we're almost there
Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again
Now I'm amongst the twilight, though the clouds take up the sky
A torch man addresses me, the bright flame it blinds my eyes
He called right this way, we've awaited you, the train hasn't left the track
We've got a long ride ahead of us, and you know there's no turning back
It may be night, yet it sure is bright straight ahead
All the stress is over now, I close my eyes for bed
Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again
Last call for orpheus
Last call on wheel
You can tell old mama that I'll find my way
But I aint comin' home again
But I ain't comin' home again
No I ain't comin' home again
Cause I ain't comin' home again

Chimera

A day so somber with a large beam of light
Turns into mayhem a feast of delight
One yells
Makes crashes
Two yell
Makes ashes
One fled the scene and went on through the night
For dreams too simple are more than just fright
What is my resistance? Will I feel it instant?
What is my resistance? Will I feel it instant?
Was I just deluded? Was it too secluded?
Was I just deluded? Was it too secluded?
Was it too secluded?
One wakes up from the dream to a shining gleam
it was a flashing strobe of light
Carried up in the air through the peaks of despair
They went on through the night
One's back at home and still in one full piece
Though the stories and the whereabouts never seemed to cease
What is my resistance? Will I feel it instant?
What is my resistance? Will I feel it instant?
Was I just deluded? Was it too secluded?
Was I just deluded? Was it too secluded?
Was it too secluded?
One takes a dive and goes into a coma
Dreams so fictional spark a nova
Inside one's head its all comotion
From these dreams they're all still frozen
Is this all a dream or am I awake?
