Seas And Serpents

(album: Ollie Ollie Oxen Free - 2021)

Just take a hard look
And tell me what do ya see
An ordinary face
Though on the contrary
You're only half that
The best is yet to come
You'll have to do better than that
Cuz you ain't fooling no one
You're on the one step
Onto two and three
Yeah take your best shot
Come take a walk with me
Let's watch it grow tall
Just plant the seed
Watch the hazmat fast forward to recovery

Just pick your head up
You're not the only one
As time grows stranger
Remember where you come from
I see it in your face
There's nowhere left to run
So pick your head up yeah
The best is yet to come

You take a step back
And tell me what do you see
Another blank page
It's time to make history
A revelation
Between you and me
Paint a picture on the wall up in the city streets
You take your best shot
Controversy
Up on the main stage
For all to see
Yeah you're a big star
Time for your release
It's time for you to paint your piece

Just pick your head up
You're not the only one
As time grows stranger
Remember where you come from
I see it in your face
There's nowhere left to run
So pick your head up yeah
The best is yet to come

As the sky turns brown, the dust fills the air
The sea turns grey, the ships must beware
Snakes in the water slithering at Bay
Flap your tails and smack them away
All in all is all we are
How'd it even come this far
All in all is all we are
I've got no apologies

Just pick your head up
You're not the only one
As time grows stranger
Remember where you come from
I see it in your face
There's nowhere left to run
So pick your head up yeah
The best is yet to come
So pick your head up yeah
The best is yet to come
So pick your head up yeah
The best is yet to come
