 GOpen up a window

 When the Cdents
 The dents get hammered Emout
 Then we'll travel through Dtime

 Crawling, running, squirming 'Emround
 Trees drop colorful Dfruits
 Directly into our mouths
 GThe world's an inventor
 We're the Cdirtiest thing its thought aEmbout
 And we really don't Dmind

 GWe'll probably never get there
 Bring your Csight seers, school teachers Emdown
 There's a water color weekend
 All the Dtrees are turning colors now

 Bring your Ccandy taster, time wasters aEmround
 And we'll fuck with their Dminds
[VERSE 4]
 GThe world composes with his
 CShirt tails wrinkled hanging out

 Playing Cskin on teeth inside of the Emmouth
 What sort of Dsounds?
 What lovely sounds come about
