Metal-Plated Dreams

Purple peanut butter jellyfish chase

Chocolate-covered lima beans

And tree frogs dance on a furry stage

While cactus unicorns

Run from lifelike artichoke

If you plunge into a lemon-flavored

Sea of grass

Don't try to catch 

The eagle-feathered fish

Ostrich juice flows through valleys 
Of summer wintertime
Careful, don't dip your toes in
'Cause rivers have high fevers

I wear a fizzy cape as I rescue

Baby army ants

From a deadly battle

Against exotic coffee cups

I know this makes no sense

But trust me because I know this:

Wrought-iron badgers

Sometimes come alive at night

Before you fall asleep tonight

Buckle on your gold-detecting socks

Because if you're not careful you may

Catch a metal-plated virus

The dreams you'll have are quite bizarre

You'll fly with backpack wings

To a land of strangest things

Don't ask me why

You'll understand it all

Once you've heard the liquid band

Strum songs on old

Crayon-stringed guitars

When I crash land in reality once more

I'll make sure to let you know

But until then I'll wander through

The cotton candy-cane hallways

Of metal-plated dreams
