Lyrics:<br /><br />Receiving Visions<br /><br />You woke up one day and threw off your comforts<br />Everything here has gone quite stale and it’s time to bail<br />It hit you like the invention of braille<br />An experience like the holy grail<br />You sold everything you own and buy a veil<br />As well as a seat on a boat setting sail<br />Thinking that maybe you’ll see a whale<br />You have to let the whole world know the tale<br />If you start receiving visions<br />It’s going to muck up all your decisions<br /><br />Your ticket is scanned and you find your place<br />The workers below are busy shoveling the coal<br />The indentured servants are looking out the keyhole<br />The captain is walking around on patrol<br />He’s ready to hang any traitors on a pole<br />When you speak up he asks what’s your role<br />You start asking him about his soul<br />He’s trying to throw you in prison without parole<br />If you start receiving visions<br />It’s going to muck up all your decisions<br /><br />When you land you have to traverse the jungle<br />Who knows where you’re going or where you’ll be<br />All you can see is tree after tree<br />The colorful poisonous frogs are telling you to be carefree<br />But you’re too busy looking for the banshee<br />You wonder which direction will take you back to sea<br />You start to wish you’d taken the chance to flee<br />You start looking for outside paths for any kind of fee<br />If you start receiving visions<br />It’s going to muck up all your decisions<br /><br />You stumble upon the tribe of the uncontacted<br />They’ve got customs that you’re trying to fix<br />You want to shake them and say they’re out in the sticks<br />But you realize their ideas and yours don’t mix<br />The people that have lived there are up to your tricks<br />They aren’t interested in your different types of bricks<br />You hold up to them your personal crucifix<br />But you’re disappointed when they fail to transfix<br />If you start receiving visions<br />It’s going to muck up all your decisions<br /><br />Out into the woods for a new audience <br />The guerillas are starting to take action<br />The monkeys are breaking into a new faction<br />The vultures are starting to gain traction<br />The crocodiles are now the main attraction<br />The centipedes are searching for satisfaction<br />The scorpions are tallying up every infraction<br />The snakes have made you their new subtraction <br />If you start receiving visions<br />It’s going to muck up all your decisions<br />
