lyrics

pineapple acid stings my mouth
are we still going out tonight
or should we stay inside and get some rest,
up at 4 to catch our flight

look up at the windows
sheets of shimmering emerald
i wanna stay here forever

well what if we did come across
a little hut where we could live
up in the canopy
above the temples and pyramids
we could stay there forever
alone but together
what if we just disappeared like D.B. Cooper did

so far no sign of a treehouse,
talkin like the Robinson kind
lookin at me like i'm losing my mind
but if i get lost i want you to find me
and you know where to look,
you can read me like a kid in a Kipling book
the one with the jungle
original land of the lost

it just disappeared like D.B. Cooper did
up in the canopy
above the temples and pyramids
we could stay there forever
alone but together
well maybe we'll just disappear like D.B. Cooper did

i know he's out there in a cave
he talks to animals
he eats fresh fruit
in his dirty boots
and hides from cannibals
but lonely nights, they sneak up on him
insects on your skin
see there's this girl,
he planned to meet her
but Tupac swooped in
traced behind her,
couldn't find her
voice echoes through the roots
but he missed his chance,
he only jumps when he has a parachute

we'll come across a little hut where we can live
up in the canopy
above the temples and pyramids
we could stay there forever
alone but together
oh, baby we'll just disappear like D.B. Cooper did
