great opportunity awaits.

labored breathing and sallow skin

moving sidewalks

great opportunity blinks.

Lyrics:



hey hey.



I was hell

sarcastic silver swell.

that day it rained

tough spun. hard won. no

ocean flower aquarium

badlands. give a hand.

honey dipt. film flam

hey hey. hey hey.

that cat can walk like a big bad man.



so happy to show us

I ate the lotus.

say haven't yoou noticed?

I ate the lotus



storefront window, I reflect.

just last week I merely heck

tip the scale. I was hell

picked me up, then I fell.

who's this stranger? crowbar spine

...and I feel fine.

let it rain, rain, rain

bring my happy back again.



so happy to show us

I ate the lotus.

say haven't yoou noticed?

I ate the lotus



let it rain, rain, rain

save me from myself again

wash away my ugly sins

opposing thumb, dorsal fin

that monkey died for my grin

bring my happy back again

let it rain, rain, rain

bring my happy back again



so happy to show us

I ate the lotus.

say haven't yoou noticed?

I ate the lotus

I ate the lotus

I ate the lotus
