Is There Somebody Out There?
is anybody out there?
talking to genies
with the perfect three wishes for the world
where we don't hold up some bodies
dead bay?
Is there someone haunting you hunting nets
with you need therapy?
can you sing this
horrible blasphemy and not feel
like you are crawling
through the tunes of dishonesty
can you hear the sway or am i still falling?
I'm not getting any closer talking in circles
im not getting any better repeating the same thing
it doesn't matter ill force on anyway
get around it
and keep somebody companyyessssssss!
now the applause and cheers
and the joke of tea and how addicted we are to harps in perfection!
how rich people are for deadly instruments of fools and telepathy!
Just follow me and
now we're another identity at the crime scene
somebody who left something in the bathroom
who in the future will run away from crawling
who will never understand the horrors
of having no friends
and now this new beat is saying wah wah wah
what about me
and love has no destiny
can we figure it all out
is god gonna forgive me?
oh dear oh darling!
im not even welling
you're just sensitive
darling we were just pretending
acting
and one day when you see
you will
know the joke we're not telling
to those
whop won
world war whatever
and we're trapped in our own paranoia
it never goes away
back to repeating
look at your family portrait
everybody is smiling
everybody is saying
I'm glad to be me
and love my family no matter what
i love this world
jest because i can
in this family portrait and the children are still singing innocently
everything is happy
Wand normal
and i just dance following you lead
looking for my partner to play a trump
and this intelligence of fools gold
leaves us all laughing happily ever after
happily ever after
the joke im not telling
im not telling
locked in a treasure chest
somewhere where the shadow fiends
its okay sweetie
don't be afraid
you've crossed over and now watch out for the body snatcher
and the mental vampires but you're not crazy we'll bring you there
to the place where they
ask you whats the matter with your life!
