Hello From Inside A Shell

Of Montreal
Album : Coquelicot Asleep In The Poppies : A Variety Of Whimsical Verse

Hello from inside a shell you can see me
cause my shell is invisible
It was made especially for me
by the brilliant inventor Lecithin E
I ride my unicycle downstairs to
his laboratory when I know he's there
Working on robotic aquatic bees
perfecting his mechanical donkeys
or running from exploding test tubes
Hello from inside a shell you can see me
cause my shell is invisible
It was made especially for me
by the infamous inventor Lecithin E
I ride my boat car through the rays
of his reverse magnetizer when
I'm feeling brave Then everything
I touch shoots into space and astronauts
shake their fists at us saying be careful
He's promised to build us a
world of our own far away from
this one In uncharted regions
where no one will go
He's promised to build us a world
of our own We'll find an island somewhere
near the North Pole And
He'll invent lots of strange new animals
to inhabit it so we won't feel alone
And we'll be happy there there there
all covered in snow
He's promised to build us a world
of our own and here we go
