Do you see the clouds? I want to climb there
I want to make it that far
‘Cause that sky is too empty, too blue and bare
And I think it should wear my name
I see, in my pupils, infinity, space and time
And a little man who says it’s all mine, it’s all mine
So pack up and take my hand
And together we’ll build something grand
New ramparts to command
Let’s take the land!
♫
Down in the plains lie unknown treasures
The consecrator found ‘em out
We used to draw pictures of pyramids with golden stairs
Now we got a couple houses up there
I see in my reflection the years of a trocheed war
And an army of men that cries "We want more, we want more!"
So pack up again my friends
And together we’ll make another stand
New ransoms to a plan
Let’s take the land!
♫
Do you remember the clouds? Now they’re all taken
The zoners showed up yesterday
They took the land

Throw them dice then jump under the pile!
Today’s new age feasters march in dressed ESP waving finger thorns
How vivid lie imagine your image, how vivid Maya firm our visions
We patch this match with our pins and stones and we break our own bread our own way
How vivid lie imagine your image, how vivid my affirm refracts the game up into the frame
Until they catch you, till they catch you
I knew a gal from Santa Frieze, they found her in the computer keys
Not a dream it’s not a dream it’s not
Envision a jungle sea supple alone, snake all a tongue jumping for fun
Tastes so good it tastes so good
Pulling the wood tannins up from the floor, insular flares under the stairs
Not a dream it’s not a dream it’s not
Picture yourself on a boat near the sea with chips and dips for your and me ~ Ah! here comes another ship, they brought us a treat ~ Leave those dishes in the sink we’ll take care-of-’em when we land, just set your toasting-glass-to-clink ~ Your time is now, my friend
I feel we’re spinning still we’ll never get our answer
I feel we’re in the swill we’re not here to need it for
♫
I cannot make it I’m stuck in the wall
Don’t ask me how please just lend me your paw
It was so wonderful to know you, guess things just don’t always work out the way you want ‘em to
And I can’t fit back here like I used to
Took my treasure to the back room, no one saw me, no one saw
It doesn’t matter when you’re looking at the star-filled light inside
And no one knows whether our crystal ball is broken or just cracked one side
Now how more?
Not a dream it’s not a dream it’s not

The fields are overgrown, the moon grows wan
On an accursed road forever on
A figure calls out beckoning in firelight
A tongue of silver reckoning, offer respite
Come weary traveler, come rest your eyes
Traveling on tonight would be unwise
Join in our revelry, arcane reprise
Equip your mind to see, that you may rise
♫
A spectral veil withdrawn
Unglamoured forms appear
A question posed to nymph and faun
What do demons hold dear?

Do you remember when we first met? We spent hours on that swingset
We'd repeat a similar sequence every day outside at recess
Another day was done ~ Ready for another one
Remember sitting in a parked car? Sunroof open, gazing out far
On a pink moon and a million stars, singing like the world was all ours
Another day was done ~ Ready for another one
And when we've each got four walls and people who depend on us
Will we still be ourselves? Will we still take the plunge?
Cannonball!
I wanna go back to our old haunts, back to playgrounds and parking lots
Another day is done ~ Ready for another one
We'll take the plunge ~ Cannonball!
