Fika with Cannonball

from Miracle on Neon Clown Avenue by Cannonball Statman

/

lyrics

There is no sky.
There is no ocean.
There is no mountain
to shout down from.

There is no land.
There is no woman.
There is no Earth
to stand up straight on,
and I don't wanna stand up straight on your Earth today.

There is no man.
There is no woman.
There is no king.
There is no kingdom.

There are no clothes.
There is no empire.
There are no elders,
but they are wise.

And they are wise;
they are no wise guys.
They've got crazy eyes.
Some of them aren’t circumcised.

There are no lies.
There are no fairy tales.
There are no eyes
to shoot fire from,
and I don't wanna shoot fire from my eyes today.

There is no past.
There is no future.
There is no floor.
There is no altar.

There is no you.
There is no alter.
There is no me
to depart from.

There is no shell.
There is no seashore.
There is no vessel
to depart from.

There are no jobs.
There are no workers.
There are no coffee shops.
There is no fika, but,

oh! Don't you wanna do fika with your authors?
All your authors came to meet you in your living room;
Ace, Ganesh, and Cannonball.
There's coffee and cinnamon rolls for everyone!
Take a seat;
calm down, babe!

Everything must change;
hummingbirds don't fly over this town anymore.

You're dreaming...

Don’t you wanna do fika with your authors?
All your authors came to meet you in the skylight diner!
Say hello to Cannonball!
There's coffee and buttered rolls for everyone!
Take a seat;
calm down. Hey.

Everything must change...
...there is no town.

Ace wished the night would never end...
...through holes in his sky.

There is no sky.
There is no motion.
There is no road
for us to live on.

There is no search.
There is no purpose.
There is no world
to forget us.

There is no shirt.
There is no service.
There are no shoes.
There’s no president.

There are no hands.
There are no organs.
There are hearts.
There are no promises.

There is no war.
There is no peacetime.
There is no court.
There’s no order.

There is no dog.
There is no microphone.
There’s no home
to go home to.

Everything must change...

So, don't you wanna do fika with your authors?
All your authors came to meet you at the crossroads!
Give a great big kiss to Cannonball!
There's coffee and devil dogs for everyone!
Take a seat;
calm down, love!

He set off from the station;
he left that way.
The other night, he’d had some crazy dream;
and it all went up from there.
