We were trippin' out to this riff in our heads
Something that goes like this

And in all the right colors

One hookah, some cheese
Ma'am, check please

Our faces glow from our epiphanies
As we ate like kings from banana trees

On my way out to sea?

We will sail off the earth

And find out just how it works

Embodies matter

From where I'm standing
