Wooden Krow - Turtle Island Lyrics

"Proper story's supposed to start at the beginning
Ain't so simple with this one
Now here's a kid who's whole world got all twisted
Leaving him stranded on a rock in the sky
He gets up. And then, he falls to his death... I'm just fooling"

We were standing on the shoulders of giants
We were closer to silence
All the soldiers died, they started the riots
Time kinda stopped, now it's slower
And the world's gone quiet
There's been a change of climate

But what happened was unclear
We know this shit went nuclear
Oceans disappeared and monsters were real
The calamity killed the rest with fear
And chaos is oxygen in New Earth's biosphere

We were standing on the shoulders of giants
We saw a bunch of purple tyrants
Scary clowns at the circus
Weird looking and unfunny like the Joker
Arguing over an explosive game of poker

Acid, rain, smoke and sandstorms
Shook the ground, everything was transformed
Some found some sort of flying paradise
Forget it
You'll never hear better advice

Yeah
I didn't expect such a visitor
Chill, here you're not a prisoner
You're just another survivor
And you broke the cypher
You knew this place was higher
Yeah, we stopped sailing on water
So hop on our flying lifeboat
We'll be sailing to find an antidote
We're all poisoned no need for a straw vote
I'm your captain you are my new scapegoat
We'll be flying to this ancient highland
Ill's the one who'll do all the driving
The Mad Ewok is one to be frightened
Traffic's heavy towards Turtle Island

"We can't go back no more
But I suppose we could go, wherever we please...
Gettin' ahead of myself though...
I'm gonna need a first mate...
What do you say?"
