Everyone knows that you get butterflies when feelings unfold But this time my heart had a stranger wish It's full, but of a different animal This time (Tropical Fish) This time Desire Desire (Tropical Fish) This time... Our lovelight glows Like a tank, reflected on a TV left on grainey angels But from a speaker in your heart I heard this song It was strong -- it just went on and on and on This time (Tropical Fish) This time Desire Desire (Tropical Fish) This time... Their delicate skin makes me cry I think you know You can see that my eyes are hatching minnows And to fool you you know I often try But these animals don't lie This time (Tropical Fish) This time Desire Desire (Tropical Fish) This time... credits

I'm walking slow Down streets I know Now alien designs With the weight of nameless valentines Familiar ties Connections I no longer understand I'll just wait for truth to take my hand Guess I have a home Guess I'm not alone I've got friends I adore But sometimes it feels as though You might as well just knock on any door No one outside No one inside My beat has flown away And this troubled feeling just can't stay Random fruit Too many kinds Like worlds I'll never touch I'll buy one persimmon And know this much Guess I have a home Guess I'm not alone I've got friends I adore But sometimes it feels as though You might as well just knock on any door My world it falls prey to life's curious ways And lions lick their paws Not remembering the beast that was Time moves never strays In its elegant way And lions lick their paws Cheerleaders for nature's laws Guess I have a home Guess I'm not alone I've got friends I adore But sometimes it feels as though You might as well just knock on any door credits

Money? Really? No one wants that car you just saw World is trading in its diamonds For that certain je ne sais quoi What can I say? Riche is passé Please don't blow your horn Or hire brass The minions had their fun Now give me....class! To Have Class Bon voyage Wild mirage Say "hello" to a bare décolletage New rules start now Overdue and how With no chairs on which to sit Let us use proper etiquette Your wallet's empty But you've got currency Please don't blow your horn Or hire brass The minions had their fun Now give me....class TO HAVE CLASS!

Chorus: I am light as air I'm the stillest tide Like birds without a care To your world inside I will be the one the one that will keep my pride And let you decide That you can never do without me...
