lyrics

Zephyr & Sycophant

If you think you can float
On the wings of a goat
Go ahead
No one can stop you
Toast the king
Monkey sing
Hope he brings enough
Of the right stuff
To flatter me

Take my hand
And we'll land
On the back of this hurricane
Trust the the plan
That we'll stand
For the Zephyr and the Sycophant

Don't you think
There's a plan
For the man with the gold tooth
Hiding in a tollbooth
Look around for the sound
Make believe it's electric
Put it where you left it

Keep your nose
To the ground
No ones searching for a bloodhound

Upside down
In a crowd
You can find it
On the next cloud

It's like a poison underneath
Every fading memory
Imitating what you're seeking to remember
Keep treading water when it's deep
Ignore the fingers that will keep
You weightless
Levitate us
Like a feather

If you think you can fly
With that hole in the sky
Go ahead
I can't deny you

Monkey king
Make her sing
It will be enough Of the right stuff
To matter

Take my hand
And we'll land
On the back of this hurricane
Trust the the plan
That we'll stand
For the Zephyr and the Sycophant
