Story Behind The Song

A heartbroken lover lives like a hermit in a crumbling house since his relationship ended. How did he get there? Was he was spit up from the belly of a whale, or did he fly there on the back of a giant bird? He realizes what he needs and believes, and in so doing he achieves catharsis.

Song Description

riff rock monster with massive drums and a screaming horn section. The chaotic riff section gives way to a poppy, peppy chorus section followed by a screaming guitar solo that builds in intensity to the return of the riff.

Lyrics

Take back the thing you said
quit trippin' through my head
get back to yesterday
take back the thing you say
ask him how he got over there
haven't you heard?
he told me he flew up there
on a giant bird

we should agree but we couldn't agree
we can work it out right but we haven't quite got it figured out just yet
and we never forget
that we're trapped trapped trapped in a socialite ditch and we don't know which of the bad ideas will work out the best
better than the rest
oh I tried to belive but I couldn't believe
in the low-down biology class system and the money tree
I believe in the honey tree

now I live on shaky floors
crumbling stairway, a broken door
ever since you went away
this is where I spend my days
ask him how he got up here
and I'll tell you a tale
don't you know I was spit up here
from the belly of a whale


oh I tried to belive but I couldn't believe
in the low-down biology class system and the money tree
I believe in the honey tree
I tried to belive but I couldn't believe
in the low-down biology class system and the money tree
I believe in the honey tree

Take back the thing you said
quit trippin' through my head
get back to yesterday
take back the thing you say
hey hey hey
