about
lyrics
—————
There is a place I like to go
When all world is shutting down
It's a village on an island
A laid-back little town
Where your neighbors are the cutest
And your outfits are all great
Where a dog who has no hobbies
Helps you not forget the date
There's an owl who's scared of bugs
There is a sloth who buys your drugs
You say you'll only play a couple hours
Then it's 3am & you're still moving flowers
The sky is full of presents
And the earth is full of bones
Your human friends can visit
You can all stare your phones
A new species to discover
A new island to explore
Another house to fill with clutter
Another visit to the store
Shake the trees and break the rocks
Take out a loan &, buy some stalks
this getaway is longer than I planned it
but together our horizons have expanded
~~~
A stick, a stone, it’s a DIY shelf
It’s a thing in my house, and I made it myself
A flag, a tune in my own little town
All these creatures have names, I have written them down
Some of them like to talk, some are much more succinct
There’s a dodo or two, I thought they went extinct
All your neighbors are nice if you give them a chance
All the means are controlled by a raccoon in pants
It's the bugs on the trees, it's the seasons that pass
It's a promising splash— It's a bass, it's a bass
And the animals cross with your virtual doll
They are calling your name, stay inside, greet them all
A sink, a stove, it’s a full kitchen suite
Dirty dishes don't pile up if you never eat
An egg, a pearl, a petal, a shell
To the one they call Zipper, I will see you in hell
The swing of an axe and the arc of a net
Sell some bugs & some fruit to pay off your debt
Neighbors crowding the square, see them interact
But when they exercise, why do I feel attacked?
And a dog plays guitar by himself the rain
Water landing ahead, that’s ok, it's a plane
And the animals cross at horizons anew
It is zeroes & ones, it’s your friends, it is you
