[VERSE]

[F#]When I was done dying my conscience regained
[F#]So I began my struggle a nothingness strained
[F#]Out a flash made of time my new form blasted out
[F#]And it startled me so and I burst out a shout
[F#]At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest
[F#]And I ran until drained leaving no choice but rest
[F#]So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
[F#]But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave
[F#]And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky
[F#]And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die
[F#]As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
[F#]How my skin did explode leaving only my shirt
[F#]But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit
[F#]And I became the seed and that seed was a brute
[F#]And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves
[F#]And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves
[F#]And they laughed out at me and said "what is your plan?"
[F#]But their question was foreign I could not understand
[F#]When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed in a mouth
[F#]And it swallowed me down at which time I head south

[CHORUS]

[F#]I said
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[B]Hey hey hey
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[B]Hey hey hey

[VERSE]

[F#]Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
[F#]With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
[F#]As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
[F#]I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
[F#]So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon
[F#]Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon
[F#]How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
[F#]And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
[F#]And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
[F#]But I know had I touched them they'd mouth back 'bye bye'
[F#]So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
[F#]And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark
[F#]Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
[F#]Oh it greeted me kindly and then we all drank
[F#]And we drooled out together right onto the ground
[F#]And the ocean grew quickly right up all around
[F#]And the earth looked at me and said "wasn't that fun?"
[F#]And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
[F#]And without even thinking cast me into space
[F#]But before she did that she wiped off my own face
[F#]She said better luck next time don't worry so much
[F#]Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
[F#]As I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
[F#]But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave

[CHORUS]

[F#]I said
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[B]Hey hey hey
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[D#m]Hey ya ya
[B]Hey hey hey
