## Lyrics

Summon'd by a call buried in us all

Anyone can see what it means to me

Finally companied in omniverse

Dreaming sweet in C

Governed by a mean commonwealth unseen

Pirates in denial plunder'd every file

Lo with misbegotten woe to burn

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern

Knowledge wasn't power

if it couldn't flex its muscle every hour

Christopher Columbus killed

exactly how he thrilled

Una ciudad submarina

Loco comprendo si es cierto

Necesito explicar una cosa interesante

At three hundred hours

a melange of mirages

appear'd out of nowhere

fully tantamount to mystery lights

so the yacht steered to go there

Cool tears from the ghost ship

Tears of Allah

The passengers shouted out a holler

Shalom voila haha

The Mediterranean protects Atlantises

projected by ancient praying mantises

Blue holes hold a wealth of clues

depending upon scuba divers' points of views

see we have to choose what we have to lose

weakened all weekend by shots of booze

at the Bamboo Shack a Goombay Punch

moreso encourages holding a lunch

Hast thou marine iguanas in the Bahamas

and/or is that more of a Galapagos thing

Darwin acquiesced to the best a priori

Bermuda FM's immortal crustacean king

Trust when they learned it was combustible

they had to thrust deeper into the impossible

beyond killer feels past electric eels

resort hotels with eclectic deals

resisting all of Neptune's appeals

Finally quoth the Shark Lady:

In a coral reef near the floor of the sea

sits a chest bless'd with three skeleton keys

these should grant you access to pass with ease

Orichalcum was the beat of the hour

with a certain magical edible flower

Under thick glass domes

upon the ocean bed

people bust'd rhymes

about the day of the dead

(Late quesadillas resultan en

pesadillas y sueños fantasticos)

Orichalcum was the bead of the hour

One supermetal with all of the power

Dip a submarine

Ride a motorbike

Take a vacuum train

to any place that you like

(Es peligroso volar en interiores

No helicoptóres)

Native Lucayans explained

displacing ions anointing vampires

with dandelions

Teas brewed stirring up Yeezus

bewitching a Jesus

suggesting The Beatles

couldn't please us

silent platinums sold

Coronation for

a ruler of measuring things

A nation burdened by infinite wings

Da Vinci's cartwheels ambidextrous

MJ thought that

Bey was too dangerous

Elvira cast spells to sell hex appeal

Madonna was real

At the risk of waxing pedantic

they declared the taxing romantic

Junglas spilling milkshakes kneeled in prayer

Thick lipstick everywhere

Hallelujah

Gold, black, and aquamarine

flanked R.M.S. Philistine

Nickel-Lead-Bronze-Copper-Zinc-Graphene

in place of gasoline

In and around the Atlantic Gyre

rumors trickled down the wire

Dolphins spread the fateful secret well

from April 1912

Papa Smurf surveyed the turf

of raging surf wars and star bores

The Doors all but opposed to

closing old shores

Summoned by a call buried in us all

Yes they were blinded by the light

White Star Line goodnight

navigating constellations

so numerous and bright

Anyone can see what it means to me
