 Keep your tongue in your mouth
Though I know you've things to say
If your words get out
They will surely destroy
Miss, are you spoken for
Because I'd like to speak at you
Miss, are you spoken for
Hold on to your seats while I try to transcend (using only my stories)
The lies of man
Mr. Dress Suit hold your tongue, I have the speaking stick now
I wandered off the path one day
Great watcher turned, and I ran away
I lost myself amongst some trees
Birds and lizards paid no mind to me
Sat atop the mushroom growths
I drank the tea of forest folk
I did not mind that I sat alone
Until a hopping toad approached
He spoke of things you'd not believe
He whispered truths that tickled me
I lost myself in fairy tales
But, truth be told, these tales were real
The toad and I, we shared a smoke
I lent my ears as for hours he spoke
Bestowed his knowledge upon me
The women he'd known, the places he'd seen
Everyone was tripping, the whole world was dancing
And I thought, I thought…
Maybe I was tripping, the animals were singing
And I thought, I thought…
I know this song, I knew this song…
I know this song
And it's finally making sense now
I found a way to attain the lies of man
Make that a way… to destroy everything
Keep your tongue in your mouth
Is that too much to ask of you?
Is that too much to ask of you?
Is that too much to ask of you?
Is that too much to ask?
I sat for hours while he spoke
Asked him why he came a toad
He said he'd always been this way
He was not disguised, just for today
In the forest, we're up at dawn
I licked his back and finally saw
So many colors I'd never seen
The here and now, the in between
He's not how I thought he was
But I like her much better as
It's not like I thought it was
But I feel that I've been despised
It's not like I thought it was
but I like it much better as
It's not like I thought it was
but I feel that I've been despised
I feel that I've been despised
