BCavern of your mind, you say your Fpattern
You pull your Bstrings and you jump, hold your Fmouth and you say

We Ball give applause when Fpeople look and pause
But Bon the way out and get your Fback in
See, Beverything in life ain't Fsilver and gold
But Cminin' for metal gave you Cbplatinum

BSwimmin' in pools of Fmomentary bliss
Where you Bgotta find a family 'cause Feverybody taken
They Cworry you keep on adding, I Cbthink you gotta crawl
