I found the secret. Stepped through the portal
But no one believes me, I’m merely mortal
I found the secret, and now, no longer confused
I called you up with the good news
And the feeding frenzy in the sea
Surrounded by sharks and gulls
Looks like a rocks and reefs to the
Ship that makes the map
So we avoid it for a generation
And call that Tradition
The pills you gave me, to treat the symptoms
Are made of pabulum, so I didn’t take them
Panel of experts convened,
To close the curtains on the screen
And I politely clapped for our team
And some guy looks at the map and sees it’s flat
So the world looks flat to him as well
And he folds it, molds it, reads it to his cat
The Rabbis provide exposition
We call that Religion
Tide brought a bottle still with its seal
Though the melted lead is sweet it’s a toxin
A tiny note therein concealed
But I’m gonna toss it back in the ocean
And the whale that’s dying in the sea
With breaking waves and gulls
Looks like rocks and reefs to the
Ship that makes the map
So we avoid it for generations
I found the secret. Stepped through the portal

At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
They're looking at me, all the people to see.
And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you're in the mood
Ah you look so pretty
Caught a glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
Dance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
I'm walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said, "Get them away"
Please don't say a word
"Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I hate it here
Get me out of here"
At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
Glance in your eyes and fell through the skies
Glance in your eyes and fell through the skies
