Cannonball Statman - Year of Seven Puppets lyrics

You'll meet strange people in a test tube Girls in a living room laugh at a television Boys scream screamy things at their socks Like joy joy joy and riding a donkey They went to find a place to sleep And woke up inside what seemed like a mansion A regular resting place for those who feel the need to sit And wait as the rain sets The windows bled out into a space into green fields spanning beyond the comprehension of man The steps in a life that echo for eternity Forgetting this they slept in king-sized white beds Bags unpacked All the things they'd taken with them down the road Taken out and placed in place They were advised not to stay long in this mansion But to savor the time while they are there And dream of most astonishing things Because when you leave part of you stays behind Told to dream of most astonishing things Like wild olympian yellow jacket stings On hands of marzipan caramel rings Because when you leave part of you stays behind In this mansion I saw seven gods in my dream last night I saw you and seven friends in a streetfight I saw seven puppets on fourth street They said I won't last long in the shadow of your shadow It's raining Children play in the garden outside "Do they know where they are?" Asked a voice from the inside "No," replied the mansion "They're just there And so are you But we'll all figure out Where we are One day" You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube You'll meet strange people in a test tube
