lyrics

I feel a little bit like a banana-flavored popsicle
Or maybe root beer

My past is umbilical
My present is cyclical
My future is critical
My ego is criminal

I'm kicking the sun
Ignited at once
By the flame I borrow
I'm shooting a gun
Aimed at no one
To release my sorrow
I'm screaming out hymns
From a bubble of sins
But there's no choir
Pronouncing aloud
As I'm pulled from the crowd
I will take you higher

I Reach out from the grave
Take my hand and
Pull me on stage
I'm alive!

My past is umbilical
My present is cyclical
My future is critical
My ego is criminal
No longer subliminal
The fight is continual
Smashing the ritual
I die in habitual

As my feet hit the earth
This is my birth

In this dream
Everything is more than it seems
In our dreams
Everyone's more than they seem

I'm rising again
With all of my friends
To this brand new morning
I'm taking the bends
Away from the end
I heed the warning
I've been writing the play
A tragic mistake
When you are alone
Now I collaborate
I won't hesitate
I will see how I've grown

I Reach out from the grave
Take my hand and
Pull me on stage
I'm alive!

My past is umbilical
My present is cyclical
My future is critical
My ego is criminal
No longer subliminal
The fight is continual
Smashing the ritual
I die in habitual

As my feet hit the earth
This is my birth

I feel a little bit like a banana-flavored popsicle
That finally gets eaten
Or maybe root beer
Somebody's got to like those two flavors
Why are they the last to go?
I gotta know I gotta know!

A Tiger acts like an animal
Jesse James acts like an outlaw
This is news
She's ga ga, she wears wizard hits
She sings about being messed up
And wears wizard costumes
This is news
What is news?

I Reach out from the grave
Take my hand and
Pull me on stage
I'm alive!

My past is umbilical
My present is cyclical
My future is critical
My ego is criminal
No longer subliminal
The fight is continual
Smashing the ritual
I die in habitual

The strange is my oxygen
When it gets weird on earth
It is my birth
