Lyrics
Summon'd by a call buried in us all Anyone can see what it means to me Finally companied in omniverse Dreaming sweet in C Governed by a mean commonwealth unseen Pirates in denial plunder'd every file Lo with misbegotten woe to burn Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Knowledge wasn't power if it couldn't flex its muscle every hour Christopher Columbus killed exactly how he thrilled Una ciudad submarina Loco comprendo si es cierto Necesito explicar una cosa interesante At three hundred hours a melange of mirages appear'd out of nowhere fully tantamount to mystery lights so the yacht steered to go there Cool tears from the ghost ship Tears of Allah The passengers shouted out a holler Shalom voila haha The Mediterranean protects Atlantises projected by ancient praying mantises Blue holes hold a wealth of clues depending upon scuba divers' points of views see we have to choose what we have to lose weakened all weekend by shots of booze at the Bamboo Shack a Goombay Punch moreso encourages holding a lunch Hast thou marine iguanas in the Bahamas and/or is that more of a Galapagos thing Darwin acquiesced to the best a priori Bermuda FM's immortal crustacean king Trust when they learned it was combustible they had to thrust deeper into the impossible beyond killer feels past electric eels resort hotels with eclectic deals resisting all of Neptune's appeals Finally quoth the Shark Lady: In a coral reef near the floor of the sea sits a chest bless'd with three skeleton keys these should grant you access to pass with ease Orichalcum was the beat of the hour with a certain magical edible flower Under thick glass domes upon the ocean bed people bust'd rhymes about the day of the dead (Late quesadillas resultan en pesadillas y sueños fantasticos) Orichalcum was the bead of the hour One supermetal with all of the power Dip a submarine Ride a motorbike Take a vacuum train to any place that you like (Es peligroso volar en interiores No helicoptóres) Native Lucayans explained displacing ions anointing vampires with dandelions Teas brewed stirring up Yeezus bewitching a Jesus suggesting The Beatles couldn't please us silent platinums sold Coronation for a ruler of measuring things A nation burdened by infinite wings Da Vinci's cartwheels ambidextrous MJ thought that Bey was too dangerous Elvira cast spells to sell hex appeal Madonna was real At the risk of waxing pedantic they declared the taxing romantic Junglas spilling milkshakes kneeled in prayer Thick lipstick everywhere Hallelujah Gold, black, and aquamarine flanked R.M.S. Philistine Nickel-Lead-Bronze-Copper-Zinc-Graphene in place of gasoline In and around the Atlantic Gyre rumors trickled down the wire Dolphins spread the fateful secret well from April 1912 Papa Smurf surveyed the turf of raging surf wars and star bores The Doors all but opposed to closing old shores Summoned by a call buried in us all Yes they were blinded by the light White Star Line goodnight navigating constellations so numerous and bright Anyone can see what it means to me
