I think of things that you don't see I think of things that could never be I do it for my own amusement As a boy I'd revel in The world, well, that could never've been Oh no, did I say as a boy? I'd push aside the bicycle My mother, she'd say, Michael I love you, but boy you're strange She'd joke and say You better change your last name I went down to the riverbed Past the trees, but before the bridge I found the troll sleeping where he lay I string him up and I'll take the prize I hear him beg, but don't compromise Oh no, he won't be boilin' me! He'd scowl and say Boy, you better change your last name She'd joke and say What any mother might say But she never asked me to change Just said boy you're strange

We'll fly our rocket to the moon I've never been, how bout you? I hear that it's made of cheese (that explains all the craters then) But could you tell me please (what could take such a large bite) Maybe it's a giant moon Martian Who hides on the side that we can't see Thought you had to be from Mars to be a Martian Well he was, but got hungry There he sits He's all alone There he sits He's on his own He tries to snag A passing space craft He tries to catch em' But they're way too fast Shrink on down, I am bug What's with the swat? Hey where's the love? Now I'm a ghost (A rather small one) But I guess I'll make the most of it Cause when you make believe Who know what you'll see Come on in and check your mind See the strange and step inside Who knows Where you'll be Who knows Hey, don't look at me You could be In a tree's trunk You could be Deep below the sea (La la la, la la la) (Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese, yeah) (Cheesy cheesy, cheesy cheesy yum yum)

The captain's calm Steady at the brig Says, "Bottoms up" And lets it sink Stumbles down to a sailor's grave Stumbles through Don't want to float away Turns to the crew Stubble on his face Rum readied right Reason replaced Feeling lost And this old fool Has sealed our fate If we die... No! Everything's gonna be fine fine fine fine We'll pull on through We'd say That it'll be okay You tucked her in You'd play her games She'd pull your hair You'd ease her pains You were the king of bedside stories At her bed your here again You strike a deal Help from above Not a holy man But heard he was love How could you endure to outlive your child? How could you go on? The doctor says Everything's gonna be fine fine fine fine She'll pull on through He says That it'll be okay... It's fair to say That a little fortune it finds us all You've seen the world You've seen it changed You've lived your life Time to be replaced As the little ones make their way On the same journey You suck it in You crack a laugh They say that death's just another path It's one we all must take You can't run away

Oh Yeah 05:09
I arise to the sound of the bustling streets I find myself down in those streets and here I stand Say start walking to the place It's set in conscience, set in stone, it's set in space There she waits for me There she lies Wears a smile With blue-green eyes And I find That a simple thought could steal my day When you sigh, I stumble From the start I think it's fair to say That you are all mine I try to retrace, as I take my steps back to her place I think of the thing that hides the worry, stops the sting So I paint my colors with my words Sing out, draw in I sing to her It would be a sin to let fall Let it crumble Before it begins
