Pebble for Your Thoughts

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust motes dancing on the screen
Wurlitzer humming low and green
You’re staring through the glass again
Fin-flicker like a fountain pen
(Yeah, I see you looking)
Tell me what the water said
Inside that little orange head
Sun-faded porch, a quiet afternoon
We’re chasing shadows in a spoon
[Pre-Chorus]
Doo-ba-dee, zut-ba-da-way
Floating through the blue and grey
Shoo-be-doo, let it play
What did you see today?
Scatting through the bubbles rising
Something quite surprising
[Chorus]
Lily pad disco floors
Escaping through the glass doors
Neon green on the pond
Of the great beyond
Dancing till the sun comes up
In a giant coffee cup
Oh, little dreamer, spin around
Feet never touching the ground
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning in the light
Everything is bright
In your tiny mind
Leaving glass behind
[Verse]
Wait, don't go off on a tangent now
I don't care about the snail's eyebrow
(Seriously, focus, Finnegan)
You’re getting lost in the weeds
Counting up your imaginary seeds
But then I see that cosmic glow
A universe I'll never know
Sometimes I want to run away
Find a pond where I can stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Ba-da-pob, dwee-da-zazz
Everything is full of jazz
Zut-ba-dip, take a chance
Lead me through the dance
[Chorus]
Lily pad disco floors
Escaping through the glass doors
Neon green on the pond
Of the great beyond
Dancing till the sun comes up
In a giant coffee cup
Oh, little dreamer, spin around
Feet never touching the ground
[Bridge]
(Spoken word, deadpan tone)
Let’s see here... Dream Journal entry 402.
"The water felt like liquid velvet today.
I wore a tuxedo made of premium algae.
The frog at the DJ booth was being difficult.
He refused to play the funky plankton remix.
I suspect he’s jealous of my lateral line."
(Sighs) Honestly, the drama is exhausting.
[Chorus]
Lily pad disco floors
Escaping through the glass doors
Neon green on the pond
Of the great beyond
Dancing till the sun comes up
In a giant coffee cup
Oh, little dreamer, spin around
Feet never touching the ground
[Post-Chorus]
You nudge a pebble to the rim
A shiny fee for every swim
One more session in the books
Ignoring all your judging looks
(That’s a nice one, actually)
Quiet relief in the afternoon sun
Until the next dream has begun
[Outro]
