Preternatural

[Verse 1]
We got loose time drippin' the molten highway
the mind rolls the dice, the heart's inner crisis 
The dry proof sippin', the high cost of living
We know now we're tripping
Our boots are not fitting
Our feet are not planted firmly
The gloves have been missing
Our hands are so bloody and dirty
The vibe so murky, so wild and thirsty
For a great refresh, be like a brand new birthday

Download the update, re-set humanity
Unwind the sanity and negate the gravity
Of every scar of the deep dark legacy 
Left over centuries ruled by criminal monarchies
Posing as bros with the bold audacity
To claim that their extended family 
Is the manifestation of the high divinity
If you dare to disagree, they'll make you history

[Bridge]
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
You're gonna be a shining star
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
You're gonna be a shining star
You're gonna go so far, honey
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
Stare into the sun

[Chorus]
Don't be fooled, It's not up to you and I 
There's an eye in the sky, Beaming in our lives
If we want to get loose then we need to make ties
And ground ourselves now to stay highly alive
"Hawk Tuah" baby and get to work
Roll up the sleeves of your shirt
We're not free, widen your sockets
Time to reach deeply, inside our pockets
Cos there's a plan, not set in stone, but still 
Better yank your sword and take your throne
Pawn your grandmother's rings and lockets
We need the green to build better rockets

[Verse 2]
Please be seated it's time to get started
Under-neath your chair you'll find your vee R glasses
And we ask you nicely in the interest of health and safety
Would you please disinfect your entire identity
Before using the machine.
We can't allow for anything unforeseen
That may disrupt the chaos or glitch the scene
The world's a stage and the producers are rubbing their hands with glee
Scooping the brain out of your cranial cavity
It's a tragic malady and a harsh reality
Its gonna get ugly as your culture gets run through the mill
Ask your family doctor for a cyanide pill
Or find your feet baby and stay for the thrill

[Bridge]
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
You're gonna be a shining star
You're gonna go so far, honey
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
You're gonna be a shining star
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
Stare into the sun

"It's just a ride": said Bill, and left the set
But for us the ride ain't over yet..

[Chorus]
Don't be fooled, It's not up to you and I 
There's an eye in the sky, Beaming in our lives
Don't be fooled, It's not up to you and I 
There's an eye in the sky, Beaming in our lives
If we want to get loose then we need to make ties
And ground ourselves now to stay highly alive
"Hawk Tuah" baby and get to work
Roll up the sleeves of your shirt
We're not free, widen your sockets
Time to reach deeply, inside our pockets
Cos there's a plan, not set in stone, but still 
Better yank your sword and take your throne
Pawn your grandmother's rings and lockets
We need the green to build better rockets

"It's just a ride": said Bill, and left the set
But boy the ride ain't over yet..

Don't be fooled, It's not up to you and I 
There's an eye in the sky, Beaming in our lives

Are we just sippin' under the guise of malign malaise 
until we learn to choose the better days
Somewhere there’s a multi-phasing layered haze, 
you close the eyes to find the way
And wait until the blackness fades

[Bridge]
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
You're gonna be a shining star
You're gonna go so far, honey
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
You're gonna be a shining star
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
You're gonna be a shining star
You're gonna go so far, honey
Oooh La la, Oooh la la
Stare into the sun

Oooh La la, Oooh la la
Stare into the sun

Preternatural (extended)

[Verse 1]
I won a ticket to the free ride 
at the human amusement park
It was gold and covered in tiny writing 
and I couldn't see without my glasses 
And then I realised hold on a minute 
I don't need glasses.
So in this mild confusion i look closer 
and see that it's not in fact tiny writing at all 
but a series of Ancient Egyptian heiroglyphics, 
still couldn't read it, 
but I feel like it must mean something.
See, I'd never been to a amusement park before,
I'd been to a zoo, 
i'd seen a farm and an airport and concert hall, 
but there wasn’t so much of an amusement to be had at these places, 
in fact, I only smiled once at the airport
and that was at the exit.  

[Bridge]
So the way it went down is I was sitting one day 
Resting my feet on a bundle of hay 
I found somewhere, out there, out of the way, 
Where I could find some peace and quiet 
Lean right back look into the sky 
and ask the big old universe; 
why you got me down here
Peeping through these eyes,

[Chorus] 
Are we just sippin' under the guise of malign malaise until we learn to choose the better days
Somewhere there’s a multi-phasing layered haze, you close the eyes to find the way
And wait until the blackness fades

[Verse 2]
I won a ticket to the free ride at the human amusement park
It was a magnificent offering beyond my wildest imagination 
and I'd learned to see without my glasses 
It wasn't the only thing I'd ever been gifted, 
but hell, it was the most interesting.
So, I'd seen all the sights 
and listened closely to all the sounds 
all around, 
I'd smiled, cried, pouted and frowned, 
I'd opened my mouth as wide as it can go, 
and tasted many fruits bought right to my home, 
I'd leaned into the best of the things that I'd known,
because it seemed to give life a more glorious glow.
One day I woke up 
into a terrible dream, 
I was parked up sideways at the edge of the scene
The meaning no longer meant what it means, 
so I ditched my jeans 
for something softer.
The man on the news said that it’s time to join hands, 
rise together and take a stand 
against whichever neighbour makes you mildly mad
So bare the flag and hold up your hands
We’re going to war, oh yeah, what's the score? 
Looks like a draw, but everyone loses, 
we're all confused, just waiting to choose. 

[Chorus]
Are we just sippin' under the guise of malign malaise until we learn to choose the better days
Somewhere there’s a multi-phasing layered haze, you close the eyes to find the way
There's a fire in the back of your mind
Only flames at the end of the line

[Verse 1]
To make the world a safer place
We'll fill their necklaces with mace
And set the trigger at the throat
We pray they never have to yank
Still we'll take their money to the bank
And they will clap and cheer and 
thank us for our kindness

[Bridge]
We are staring at the wall
Pretending that we know the all
And every brick is formed to fit
The seamless surface of the pit

[Chorus] 
Be on your guard
sound the alarm
anything suspicious to be reported 
to those in charge
pull handle to stop train
to start train pull again and pray
On all the wrists are red rings of skin
where a watch is, or possibly has been

[Verse 2]
To brave the world another day
We’ll paste the face with hues of clay
To mask the lines of tired minds
And darken underneath the eyes
To lighten up the ossified and
pasteboard colour of our lives 
The pigmentation of our pride
Will bleach and dye our human kindness

[Bridge 2]
As you head toward the fire
it will draw your eyes wider
the mind begins to blister
the heart is seen to smoulder

[Chorus] 
Be on your guard
sound the alarm
anything suspicious to be reported 
to those in charge
pull handle to stop train
to start train pull again and pray
On all the wrists are red rings of skin
where a watch is, or possibly has been

[Outro]
Uproot now or be slowly choked
Vibrations of a brand new note
to the baby in your belly
to the monkey in your mind
to the humans of your tribe
