lyrics

Took a trip with some unknown demon
on the Road on the right side of town
he said "Doesn't it seem like we could
dream our way to new ground?"
he said "Doesn't it seem like the same
tired old shit about
staying here together,
chatting about the weather and
ignoring the folks that don't fit?"

So I followed this demon, his name was Barbatos
he told me he could see all time.
Then the animals told me he wasn't lying
and I thought I was losing my mind
So he taught me his power, told me never to use it,
then burned a tree trunk just for fun.
We crept down a staircase, through a mossy tunnel
far down away from the sun.

He said "I've seen heaven and the other place
I can't wait to see the look upon your face
when you realize it's all here on earth.
There's no reason I can see
for you not to shape your reality.
Make your treasure, name its worth."

After three days' travel, we made our way to a breathtaking place
There were people of all shapes and sizes running wild without disgrace
The demon had said that some powerful woman had
hidden her treasure
marked it with a feather
and to find it was to help us to bring about change.

We could get what we wanted, fight back when confronted,
ignore it if we wanted to.
There was nothing you could ever say, and little you could ever sing
to be cast to the current through.
I tried to thank him for bringing me to this village
where I could hide among the corn.
He wouldn't hear me, said he grew weary.
He had a lot to help us learn.

He said "I've seen heaven and the other place
I can't wait to see the look upon your face
when you realize it's all here on earth.
There's no reason I can see
for you not to shape your reality.
Make your treasure, name its worth."
