Did I ever tell you about the time I contracted the sky?
And while the planet stands still
There's the sun that's sliding by
I was born at genius levels so they dropped me in a hole
But to get to center stage
You know sometimes you have to pay the toll
The middle of the candy bar you're eating is made of dreams
And when you dream of the dead
You'll be the medium for all their screams
It's no laughing matter when your limbs all disappear
But if you wish a little harder then they'll all show up back here
Right back here
It seems so impossible, but really it's possible
I don't make the rules up, I just preach the gospel
You don't have to believe me, just accept that it's plausible
And when you hear the commands
I know that you'll understand
If we all had wheels it would be easier to get around
We could sneak deep into caverns
And then sell off all the junk we found
It can get crazy when the world hangs over your head
But you should try telling that
To the monsters living under your bed
There's no sight on this earth that's a sadder sight to view
Then when your imaginary friend don't wanna play with you
Well you can grease all the polls but you can't rig your election
You can channel your energy but you won't get good reception
You can dive into the abyss but you'll only hit rock bottom
You can apprehend the devil
But no one will know you caught him
I hope that you'll take these words with a grain of salt
'Cause otherwise they'll taste a little funny
And that's not my fault
