lyrics

i. entrance

laud eb lliw uoy, sreddalb tuoba kniht uoy fi
lauteprep gnihtemos otni retne

ii. the river of illusions

days go by in the breath of the breeze
i sit around and collect jars of sneeze
it can be done with much ease
and you can get mustard out if you squeeze
an illusion appears
out of nowhere

mirages over the horizon
is this my own hallucination?
running with confusion
in a river of illusions

voyager running through the amazon
what if the skies turned green like the sun?
the celestial sphere changes directions
and we all create weird concoctions
the pandemonium breaks loose
out of nowhere

insanity on a sunny day
throwing rocks down in the bay
but no ripples occur when they hit the water
a river of illusions

iii. cookies! (why the panda flies the skies)

blah blah blah blah blah blah...
cookies! cookies! cookies!...

iv. the somnambulist

sitting here reading my thesaurus
i bought it from a brontosaurus
the constant aberrations are bugging me
the irascibility is unnerving, have some tea
dreaming of laying under a mangrove
cooking macaroni and cheese on the stove
mammoth, saber-toothed tiger
digging up funny wooden objects, labor

the megalopolis just drives me insane
would you care to have a candy cane?
they're all hanging from the counterfeit tree
the one with the blinking lights, see
another form of hypnosis
just like boiling water

the butter is melting all over my table
i just sit there and roll marbles through it
let them roll off the other side of the table
the candles that brighten the room are lit
and it is not salubrious to live in a trash can
this room of slovenliness is really neat
it really has nothing to do with baluchistan
the somnambulist goes into the kitchen for a treat

v. the kindness of the alphabet (expart e)

i like the alphabet
numbers can't compare to pipes
super spoons have the blues

vi. esirper snoisulli fo revir eht

snoisulli fo revir a ni
noisufnoc htiw gninnur
?noitanicullah nwo ym siht si
noziroh eht revo segarim

snoisulli fo revir a
retaw eht tih yeht nehw rucco selppir on tub
yab eht ni nwod skcor gniworht
yad ynnus a no ytinasni

vii. exit

perpetualness has no exit
then why is there one here?
what?

laud eb lliw uoy, sreddalb tuoba kniht uoy fi
lauteprep gnihtemos otni retne
