Your Evil Shadow Has A Cup Of Tea

(album: Hip To The Javabean - 2004)

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
