[Audience Applause]
[PART I: Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans]
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
As far as you take me, that's where I believe
The realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves
On a distant shoreline she waves her arms to me
As all the thought police are closing in for sleep
The dilly dally of my bright-lit stay
The steam of my misfortunes has given me the power to be afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
And in my mind I'm everyone
And in my mind
[Chorus]
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It's what you take that makes it right
[Refrain]
Porcelina of the oceans blue
Porcelina, Porcelina
[PART II: Beautiful]
[Chorus]
Beautiful, you're beautiful
As beautiful as the sun
Wonderful, you're wonderful
As wonderful as they come
[Verse 2]
And I can't help but feel attached
To the feelings I can't even match
With my face pressed up to the glass
Wanting you
[PART III: Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans]
[Verse 3]
In the slipstream of thoughtless thoughts
The light of all that's good, the light of all that's true
To the fringes gladly I walk unadorned
With gods and their creations, with filth and disease
Porcelina, she waits for me there
With seashell hissing lullabies and whispers fathomed deep inside my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Hidden thoughts and alibis
My secret thoughts come alive
[Chorus]
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It's what you take that makes it right
[Bridge]
And in my mind I'm everyone
And in my mind I'm everyone
In my mind I'm every one of you
You make it right
It's all alright
You make it right
[Refrain]
Porcelina of the oceans blue, ah, oh
Porcelina of the oceans blue
[Instrumental Outro]
[PART IV: Rocket]
[Verse 4]
Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I’ll never be
