Lake Caramel: 5-1-2023

b. F F G G
Welcome to a small faraway town
Not mailbox to be seen
As far as the eye can see
A symphony of birds
Brings you the morning news
Bright eyed and bushy tailed
In Lake Caramel
Welcome to a small faraway town
All the cats there move so slow
And they’re friends with all the birds
The trees here are so tall
Still with room to grow
Bright eyed and bushy tailed
In Lake Caramel
Here in a small town
You’d think it’s quite in a small town
so…

Every minute is a song
The hours they roll along
If you’re not careful it is gone
Hold time hold time

From out of the wood
Comes a creature who would
Show you how wild
It is in the wild
Is it bad or good
Is it hunting for food
Are you the food it’s hunting
In the wild
Wild wild, wild wild
From out of the wood
Comes a creature who would
Show you how wild
It is in the wild
Is it bad or good
Is it hunting for you
Are you gonna make it
In the wild
Wild wild, wild wild

Me and you riding bikes in the park
Be my ladybug

We were small we were true
We knew what we wanted to do
It was fun it was cartoons
Kick the ball we were just kids
We were small we were true
We knew what we wanted to do
It was run up that hill
We just did we were just kids
Just kids, we were just kids

Until it tells a tale
Eyes widen

Down the rabbit hole
Moving along the sea
You’ll spot that hill to climb
You’ll see
Bush goes to cavas
Until a story reveals
Minds expanding
Things are possible

Because without you
There won’t be tea for two
It’s a wretched afternoon
The sun is shining
Down your way

The stars make up for some lost light

The stars they seem to hide
From the sunlight
But there’s one that’s not too far

What’s my fate
Decaffeinate
Can’t think straight

Nobody leave your home tonight
What will you do when the battery dies
Lost in the eyes of the new generation
Lost in the eyes of the new generation

When the world come off cold
And you don’t know how to get along
When your friends are so strange
And their heads spin Linda Blare
When you know its not worth
Leaving the house at all
You can just stay in
And write an adventure songs
When the world comes crashing down
And you don’t know how to clean it up
When your friends are suddenly pod people
And you’re hiding from the apocalypse
When you know it’s not worth
leaving the bunker at all
You can just stay in
And write an adventure songs

After I take a broom to the room
I can’t find you anywhere
Dust bunnies dust bunnies
Oh dust bunnies oh dust bunnies
You multiply like I’ve never seen
And after I clean you seem to go missing
It’s ok ain’t you funny

And the robots wanna be folk singers
When throw pillows throw themselves

Its falling apart at the seams
Let me tell you what I mean
Everything is like a busy dream
Right side up is now upside down
Here in bonkers town
When everything’s underwater and on fire
And the rocking chair rocks itself
When the UFOs say no thanks
You might stop and say

Don’t look in the eye of the vortex cat
You’ll get lost in its universe man
If you try to pet it you might lose your hand
To infinite time and space of a vortex
It’s true cats are cute as heck
And they live on the Internet
Beckoning your call is how they net
Melting your face in the vortex

The sun goes to sleep
In a blanket of stars
We may follow suit
Or liger for a while
The red fox may appear
just as evening light
Is swallowed up
By the hills far off
as they darken into night
In the between time
The moon light it keeps
As the sun goes to sleep
In a blanket of stars
Like a web of string lights

Gonna climb up that mountain until I’m home
The journey sure seems long
And no turn will steer me wrong
The long roads will keep me dreaming
Where I’ll go
When on the move I can see
All the things in front of me
Then I’ll stop and start again down the road
I’ll be climbing everyday
So the story can give way
To the means that unravel down the road
When at the top I can see
Across the oceans and the seas
Then I’ll stop and start again down the road
I’ll be climbing everyday
So the story can give way
To the means that unravel down the road

If you’re out for a real grand time
Just lookout for what’s behind
Just lookout for what’s behind you
And if your up for a great big laugh
Better hold on to that party hat
Just lookout for what’s behind you
That thing you think is there
When you turn out the lights
Well it’s really there
And it’s time to say goodnight
That thing you think is there
Underneath your bed at night
Well it’s out for a scare
And it’s time to say goodbye

To wake up with the light
And although sun shines

I don’t need the stars

The glow around the sun
belongs to you
It could be as dark as night
All it takes is a smile
And the light comes
shining through

Twilight into night
Creatures call out after dusk

Crickets loud as car sirens
Although an orange sun
May be wilder for some
Just remember what is love
And rise tomorrow with the sun
