[Verse]
F#When I was done dying my conscience regained
F#So I began my struggle a nothingness strained
F#Out a flash made of time my new form blasted out
F#And it startled me so and I burst out a shout
F#At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest
F#And I ran until drained leaving no choice but rest
F#So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
F#But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave
F#And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky
F#And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die
F#As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
F#How my skin did explode leaving only my shirt
F#But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit
F#And I became the seed and that seed was a brute
F#And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves
F#And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves
F#And they laughed out at me and said "what is your plan?"
F#But their question was foreign I could not understand
F#When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed in a mouth
F#And it swallowed me down at which time I head south
[Chorus]
F#I said
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
BHey hey hey
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
BHey hey hey
[Verse]
F#Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
F#With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
F#As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
F#I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
F#So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon
F#Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon
F#How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
F#And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
F#And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
F#But I know had I touched them they'd mouth back 'bye bye'
F#So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
F#And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark
F#Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
F#Oh it greeted me kindly and then we all drank
F#And we drooled out together right onto the ground
F#And the ocean grew quickly right up all around
F#And the earth looked at me and said "wasn't that fun?"
F#And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
F#And without even thinking cast me into space
F#But before she did that she wiped off my own face
F#She said better luck next time don't worry so much
F#Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
F#As I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
F#But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave
[Chorus]
F#I said
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
BHey hey hey
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
D#mHey ya ya
BHey hey hey
