[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
So you learn real hard, babe in the woods
Fight for your keep cause
Deep in the dark wolves rip at your heart
As you lie asleep
Endangered specie of the megahertz
Follow the yellow brick road
Your asylum awaits you
Sign on the dotted line
[Verse 2]
Pirates of the underground, mutiny is in the air
You're the wind in the sail's mother ship
Drifters at sea remain to be
Till land which speaks our tongue is found
On our way cut the tongues of dragons breathing fire
Ride the waves through the air down below the mire
Ohhh
Ohhh
[Verse 3]
Preacher man spins backward secret messages (Ohhh)
What are you looking for?
Something your sub conscience can devise (Ohhh)
Oh, such a sin to disappoint your suspicion (Ohhh)
Your force is ours there are no hidden lies, oh (Ohhh)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Tuned out in neutral vegetation, oh
Prime time bleeding hearts howl at the moon
Foul temptress, oh, she sings seduction, yeah
As vultures feast forbidden fruit
Live an abstract life in your hibernation
A rude awakening for the underdog typhoon
Set the Thames on fire
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Climb aboard this man of war
She'll take you far away
To a land of fantasy in your imagination
[Instrumental Outro]
