Don’t Be Like the Sun
[Pre-Chorus]
The king of Mars perfects his commentary skills
I'm a gold plated man monkey full of dollar bills
If you're happier, dial one now
[Chorus]
Don't be fooled by gravity, and don't be like the sun
[Verse 1]
Something went wrong, I hate this song
And if I could change one thing about the weather
Well then I would tell the world and I'd become famous
And then I wouldn't need to care about the weather never
Ever anymore ‘cause I would be relaxing in Hawaii
[Bridge 1]
But that is not my fate, I'm trapped inside a cage
It isn't even locked, but I'm an idiot
(It's an illusion.)
[Verse 2]
Caesar was a criminal, but his mother was a saint
Some say that it's subliminal, but I say that it ain't
Science was a masquerade, meant to sell you lemonade
And it worked, they're laughing in their graves
Once again I'm falling down a mountain like a metaphor
(God damn leprechauns, god damn leprechauns.)
Shoot me from a cannon to the moon without a helmet on my head
Or even oxygen to breathe in the offhand chance that there's no
Air
[Bridge 2]
Air is like a something something, air is like an I don't know
And air is just like fog but it's not gray, and it makes me want to...
[Verse 3]
Breathe in toxic little fumes and then I breathe out sugar-frosted blood
All I ever did to make you laugh was breathe out sugar-frosted blood
(What do I do now? Tell me lest I do nothing… guardian devil.)
I'd like to make a toast to all the little garden gnomes
Who bravely sacrificed their lives for me
I'd like to make a toast but no one seems to have a cup
I wonder where my cup has gone I think that it was taken by...
[Pre-Chorus]
The king of Mars perfects his commentary skills
I'm a gold plated man monkey full of dollar bills
You've been standing there, blocking my view
[Chorus]
Don't be scared by me or me, and don't be like the sun
[Outro]
(Because the sun doesn't really exist, it's an illusion
That's why you shouldn't be like the sun
Because if you are, you don't exist
And I don't associate with people who don't exist.)
