[Verse 1]
As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the trees and clouds and
All the visions of a muddled memory, oh
Fades beneath all the blurry stills
As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the buildings and grounds and
As the pearly gates closing unforeseen, oh
As the white dreams go static by the winds
Swallowed up by the hands of time
[Pre-Chorus]
And all of the signs lead it in
It's turning the tide into fiends
And all of the signs lead it in
It's turning and turn the tide
To fiends
[Chorus]
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
[Verse 2]
As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the trees and clouds and
And all the visions of a muddled memory, oh
Fades beneath all the blurry stills
Cracks are dawning cold under the skin
Tremble all then seize and falls and
Palms are laid out catching a trapeze, oh
Falling off from this crooked mind
[Pre-Chorus]
It rises, it falls, it calls you out (Mokelé-mbembe)
Bleak demands only holds it out (Mokelé-mbembe)
It rises, it falls, it calls you out (Mokelé-mbembe)
Bleak demands only holds it out (Mokelé-mbembe)
[Chorus]
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
[Outro]
It's all but a pebble
Just stick up to the west side
Face all the angles
Clarity hangs on the other side
It may seem irrational
Just ride your way to the sunset
A well-prized endeavor
Clouded away on the other side
[Verse 1]
As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the trees and clouds and
All the visions of a muddled memory, oh
Fades beneath all the blurry stills
As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the buildings and grounds and
As the pearly gates closing unforeseen, oh
As the white dreams go static by the winds
Swallowed up by the hands of time
[Pre-Chorus]
And all of the signs lead it in
It's turning the tide into fiends
And all of the signs lead it in
It's turning and turn the tide
To fiends
[Chorus]
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there
Mokelé-mbembe
[Verse 2]
As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the trees and clouds and
And all the visions of a muddled memory, oh
Fades beneath all the blurry stills
Cracks are dawning cold under the skin
Tremble all then seize and falls and
Palms are laid out catching a trapeze, oh
Falling off from this crooked mind
[Pre-Chorus]
It rises, it falls, it calls you out (Mokelé-mbembe)
Bleak demands only holds it out (Mokelé-mbembe)
It rises, it falls, it calls you out (Mokelé-mbembe)
Bleak demands only holds it out (Mokelé-mbembe)
[Chorus]
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
Often see you out there (calls you out)
Mokelé-mbembe
