Lyrics

Five days in a watery cave
 Another song for the day that I take to the grave
 I gotta be the first to see the specter
 Everybody want to be friends with the nectar protector
 Seventeen skulls in a hole in the woods
 Already know of the low down, but not of the goods
 We can't see but lo and behold her
 It's funny how we think with our heads when the shoulder is colder
 
 This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
 The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
 So what goes on in your tree
 When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
 
 Back in elementary school
 There was a kid we knew, we considered him cool
 And when his eyes turned red, the principal said
 He was gonna go mad from the things in his head
 Seventeen days later somebody told us there was no more school
 And the principal sold us to the ice cream shop down the street
 Where it seemed there was nothing they'd let us eat
 So we screamed:
 
 This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
 The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
 So what goes on in your tree
 When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
 
 It's never too late
 To take the chance of a lifetime under the weight
 Of life, and chance, and death
 And it's never too far out, we don't know how the sun became a star
 They say it's always been that way
 But I'll be damned if that's the case
 We'd love to have you as our guest this afternoon
 We'll get the kettle ready, hope you show up soon
 
 We can talk about life, we can talk about death
 We can talk about film, we can talk about chess
 We can talk about the faceless evil shadow creatures underneath our clothes
 We can talk about the government conspiracies
 And circumvent the challenges that represent our foes
 
 It's never my fault, take what I say with a big fat grain of salt
 (And take.. my fears.. away)
 We never will break out, and we'll leave not one thing in our wake
 They say it's always been that way
 
 This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
 The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
 So what goes on in your tree
 When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
 This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
 The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
 So what goes on in your tree
 When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
 Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
 Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
 Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
