Mantis

English translation

Just got back today

And I'm searchin' 'round the place

Lookin' for you-know-who

But there's no sign yet

Singin' autopilot days

Shinin' ultraviolet rays

On this dusty skeleton

I feel akin on a cosmic level

I can see right through you, yeah

I can read your bones just like a telephone book

Maybe I should give it up again, again

I am exercising how good it feels to be alive

And no surprises up my sleeve

Everything is temporary

Ooh, prayin' mantis on my door

Lookin' for meaning or just any sign at all

Ooh, organizin' all my thoughts, makin' them rhyme

Choosing wisely where I spend my time

Well, give me midnight love again

Feelin' somewhat alien

I'm floatin' aimless

But got my feet concreted

Beneath this creature of habit

Teach me the magic of an

Extraordinary day or anodyne the time away

And there's no such thing as a perfect melody

But I keep searching every morning in the trees

Ooh, prayin' mantis on my door

Lookin' for meaning or just any sign at all

Ooh, organizin' all my thoughts makin' them rhyme

Choosing wisely where I spend my time

And I've got my head sorted sort of

I keep goin' just because, yeah, just because

I've got my head sorted sort of

I keep goin' just because, yeah, just because
