The Magic Turtle

There once was an island of sun in the sea

It flourished and grew just as fast as can be

The grass so green

The future serine

In a land where there was not a man

Well then came a ship from the outskirts of sight

Outlined in detail with colors so bright

Explorers for gold

In stories retold

Have introduced man to the land

As the magic turtle flips into the sea

All the water is winking at me

And as the magic turtle swims away from me

Only then does the water stop winking at me

Soon there were houses and cigarette stands

Restaurants and bathrooms and rock-n-roll bands

They conquered the skies

And plagued it with lies

As for the land, it wept crimson blood

As the magic turtle dives into the sea

All the water is winking at me

And as the magic turtle lays his leather eggs

Only then does the water stop winking at me

And then there were none all the citizens gone

Maybe for good no one knows where they've run

The land was now free from ocean to tree

And the skies were now owned by the breeze

But then there’s a roar from the skies up above

In rockets they come no one knows where they're from

They worship the sands

And live off the land

As for the land, it weeps out of glee

And so is the story of man and the land

Living together hand in hand

They both know the way to carry the slain

That's the reason for life anyway

At least that's what the turtle told me

I am the magic turtle

I have the magic plan

Send all your money to the water and land

You'll be a happy man
