Escher's World Lyrics

Through the passing strange I fell
To the wide-eyed opposite
My agenda was hidden well
Now I don't know where I left it
I woke up in Escher's world today
My mother said it was okay

Up's down, down is out, out is in
Stairways circle back to where you've been
Time falls, water crawls, are you listening?

Did you ever chase your tail
Through a maze of exit doors?
I have seen the light by braille
I have blazed the road before us
We're living in Escher's world again
Rise up, you nimble-minded men

Birds roar, lions soar, sheep are cruel
Snails pace, papers chase, midgets rule
Stuffed shirts, status hurts, we ain't foolin'

Let the sequels have their day
The remake's on it's way
We're living in Escher's world, it seems
We're wide awake within our dreams

Socks hop, lemons drop, butter flies
Tough wimps, sadoshrimps, mojos rise
Pips squeak, widows peek, are you surprised?

We're living in Escher's world it seems
We're wide awake within our dreams

Birds roar, lions soar, sheep are cruel
Snails pace, papers chase, midgets rule
Stuffed shirts, Ethel Mertz, we ain't foolin'
Socks hop, lemons drop, butter flies
Tough wimps, sadoshrimps, mojos rise
Pips squeak, widows peek, are you surprised?
Up's down, down is out, out is in
Time falls, water crawls, are you listenin'?
Stairways circle back to where you've been
Stairways circle back to where you've been
Stairways circle back to where you've been

Escher is one of my favorite artists, i would think this song gives a pretty good idea of what walking through his head would be like.

No kidding! Sounds like some of his most famous pieces too.
