Astral Toll
03:39
|
|

Woah here we go!
Do we have spare change
to pay the astral toll?
Oh no, before we go:
we gotta get our spare change together
to pay the astral toll!
The toll
has got to go.
The toll
has got to go, woah!
It used to be free
to get to Hill City on Baby Island,
but now it’s like 25 cents
to pass through the astral fence.
No, it doesn’t make sense
for astral travel to be so expensive!
We all used to live
on Magic Baby Island - it’s true,
but now the astral travel agents
charge 25 cents
and put up a really big fence…
So woah, here we go!
Do we have our spare change to pay
the astral toll?
Oh no, before we go:
we gotta get our spare change together
to pay the astral toll!
The toll
has got to go.
The toll
has got to go.
The toll
has got to go, woah!
No, no, no, it doesn’t make sense
tor astral travel to be so expensive!
We all used to live
on Magic Baby Island - it’s true,
but now the astral travel agents
charge 25 cents
and put up that really big fence…
So woah, here we go!
Do we have spare change to pay
the astral toll?
Oh no, before we go:
have you got spare change to pay
the astral toll?
So woah, here we go!
We’ve got our spare change to pay
the astral toll.
Oh no, before we go: check your pockets!
We gotta get our spare change together
to pay the astral toll!
The toll
has got to go!
The toll
has got to go!
The toll
has got to go!
The toll
has got to go, woah!

Where oh where is the magic baby?
Where oh where is the magic baby?
¿Donde esta la magia nińa?
Where oh where is the magic baby?
(Where has that baby gone?)
The baby emerged from the center of my circle, ahhhh! Have you seen it?
Wearing diapers and casting baby spells according to the baby’s will.
Magic baby does not discern right from wrong, no, no, no!
Magic baby went to get a drink of milk, but all my milk was gone!

Ooo, some say, the more that we get paid,
the more that we can spend on our families and friends.
Ooo, some say, when everyone gets some,
no one gets none.
But there’s so much to do. So many things to chew
when we till our soil. Come on, let’s till our soil.
The work is never done ‘cuz it takes everyone to
till our soil. Let’s till our soil.
They work the babies...
They work the babies.
They work the babies, can you believe it?
They work the babies, why oh why?
Ooo, some say, the more that we get paid,

no one gets none.
But there’s so much to do. So many things to chew
when we till our soil. Come on, let’s till our soil.
The work is never done ‘cuz it takes everyone to
till our soil. Let's till our soil.
The workin’ babies are union, baby, they are.
The workin’ babies are union, baby, uh-huh.

When I brewed resurrection potion,
it was a really wicked brew, a really really wicked brew.
When I brewed resurrection potion,
it was a wicked thing to do, a wicked wicked thing to do.
We’ll bring it all back.
We’re bringing stuff back from the dead now.
Uh, huh!
What once was alive, but then became dead
will become alive again.
We’re bringing it back.
We’ll bring it all back from the dead now.
Uh, huh!
What once was alive, but then became dead
will become alive again!

And So Remember...
03:14

Can you believe political instability,
exploitation, and corporate greed
crept into the land of creativity
and dreams to garner the splendor?
The gophers, the puppies,
the shamans of the jungle, and the
babies of the city were put to work
because the seeds of all this negativity -
they’ve sprouted! And so remember…
What happens to Mother Earth also happens
to Magic Baby Island. They depend on one another;
if one ends, the other ends!
As on the Earth so it is in the land of baby,
and so remember…
As on the Earth so it is in the land of baby,
and so remember…
What happens to Mother Earth also happens
to Magic Baby Island. They depend on one another;
if one ends, the other ends!
How will we show that our thoughts are our own?
Where will we go when we don’t want to feel alone?
How will we know if our babies have grown?
Where will we go to know that which is unknown?
How will we show that our thoughts are our own?
Where will we go when we don’t want to feel alone?
How will we know if our babies have grown?
Where will we go?
So surround yourself with the vastness of your mind
and bask in the presence of wisdom. You will
experience peace and tranquility for that is where
you’ll find the splendor.
All of the joy, the contentment, the empathy
cultivated here on Earth
will be replicated, oh yeah, you’ll see,
in your rebirth. And so remember…
What happens to Mother Earth also happens
to Magic Baby Island. They depend on one another;
if one ends, the other ends!
