Lyrics:
hey hey.
I was hell
sarcastic silver swell.
that day it rained
tough spun. hard won. no
ocean flower aquarium
badlands. give a hand.
honey dipt. flim flam
hey hey. hey hey.
that cat can walk like a big bad man.
so happy to show us
I ate the lotus.
say haven’t you noticed?
I ate the lotus
storefront window, I reflect.
just last week I was merely heck
tip the scale. I was hell
picked me up, then I fell.
who’s this stranger? crowbar spine
...and I feel fine.
let it rain, rain, rain
bring my happy back again.
so happy to show us
I ate the lotus.
say haven’t you noticed?
I ate the lotus
let it rain, rain, rain
save me from myself again
wash away my ugly sins
opposing thumb, dorsal fin
that monkey
