[Verse 1]
Five days in a watery cave
Another song for the day that I take to the grave
I gotta be the first to see the specter
Everybody want to be friends with the nectar protector
Seventeen skulls in a hole in the woods
Already know of the low down, but not of the goods
We can't see but lo and behold her
It's funny how we think with our heads when the shoulder is colder

[Chorus]
This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?

[Verse 2]
Back in elementary school
There was a kid we knew, we considered him cool
And when his eyes turned red, the principal said
He was gonna go mad from the things in his head
Seventeen days later somebody told us there was no more school
And the principal sold us to the ice cream shop down the street
Where it seemed there was nothing they'd let us eat
So we screamed:
[Chorus]
This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?

[Bridge]
It's never too late
To take the chance of a lifetime under the weight
Of life, and chance, and death
And it's never too far out, we don't know how the sun became a star
They say it's always been that way
But I'll be damned if that's the case
We'd love to have you as our guest this afternoon
We'll get the kettle ready, hope you show up soon

[Verse 3]
We can talk about life, we can talk about death
We can talk about film, we can talk about chess
We can talk about the faceless evil shadow creatures underneath our clothes
We can talk about the government conspiracies
And circumvent the challenges that represent our foes

[Verse 4]
It's never my fault, take what I say with a big fat grain of salt
(And take.. my fears.. away)
We never will break out, and we'll leave not one thing in our wake
They say it's always been that way
[Chorus]
This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
