    We're lost in a jungle underneath these clouds There's a monsoon that never ends A coke white tiger woke us from our slumber To guide and protect us til the end

    Probably my favorite song on the album. I tripped salvia to this and felt like frank was telling me to put the drugs away

    i will never forget listening to this song for the first time. big shout out to the boy in spanish class for introducing me to frank.
  • At first I couldn't get into Franks music for some reason. I guess it's my ears. But I love Frank now, so thank you ears.

    This intro and the intro of IFHY by Tyler are really similar

    Here are the lyrics to this beautiful song : Mosh pits and bare chest Stage diving sky diver Spray the crowd with cold water Now its mosh pits and wet tits I think I need a cold shower Cool waters African girl speaks in English accent Likes to fuck boys in bands Likes to watch westerns And ride me without the hands Show me her passport She's on her own tour But you're beautiful to me Wave 'em high girl to the sky But you're beautiful to me We're in the clouds Wave 'em high girl to the sky But you're beautiful to me Life in the clouds Keep em high y'all Beautiful stars In the sky Monks in the mosh pit Stage diving Dahli Lama Feet covered in cut flowers They mosh for enlightenment Clean chakra good karma One with the water Indian girl sleeps above the temple Planning a run away young at heart You found a boyfriend And now you wanna get away, get away Just a virgin lover on a getaway, get away And at sunset they're gonna try and get away, get away Abhaya Mudra I never ask for much But please keep up lover We've got no choices left The running's fast Run run run run You're beautiful to me Run run run run you'd better run You mean so much to me In my world, in my world We made it safely Even with your father's army trailing us We escaped him Even with his archer's bows at our backs What a great escape But there's a long way still in fact We're lost in a jungle underneath these clouds There's a monsoon that never ends A coke white tiger woke us from our slumber To guide and protect us til the end We're in the clouds Wave 'em high now, to the sky But you're beautiful to me Keep em high y'all, show you right But you're beautiful to me Beautiful
