lyrics

somewhere between where the harpy eagle flies
and down deep where the electric eel hides
I slipped into a steamy hive
to pick the brain of the smartest one alive
panther's paw tattered all my clothes
the fertile mud flows between my toes
said I come for the one with the one eye closed
the creature stirred and from his slumber he rose

how's it gonna go
how we gonna go
I just wanna know
skip to the end my friend
let the credits roll
can I stick around underground
in case there's more
oh how's it gonna go
how we gonna go
I just wanna know

I said what'll it be
I think you already know
that if it isn't the sun or the sea
and you folks don't self implode
you will kill and build things
until you build the thing that kills you
you will leave a vacancy for me
a slot to slide into
I will join with your creation
to restore what you now steal
and the world will thrive
integrated to survive
the eternal master plan
of the electric eel
