The King Beetle On A Coconut Estate

作词：Greg Jehanian, Rickie Mazzotta, Aaron Weiss, Michael Weiss

As the moon rose and the hour grew late
The day help on the coconut estate
Breaked up the dried leaves that fell dead from the trees
Which they burned in a pile by the lake

The beetle king summoned his men
And from the top of the rhododendron stem
Calling all volunteers who can carry back here
The great mystery's been lit once again

One beetle emerged from the crowd
In a fashionable abdomen shroud
Said, I'm a professor, see that's no mystery to me
I'll be back soon successful and proud

But when the beetle professor returned
He crawled on all six as his wings had been burned
And described to the finest detail all he'd learned
There was neither a light nor a heat in his words

The deeply dissatisfied king
Climbed the same stem to announce the same thing
But in his second appeal sought to sweeten the deal
With a silver padparadscha ring

The lieutenant stepped out from the line
As he lassoed his thorax with twine
Thinking I'm stronger and braver and I'll earn the king's favor
One day all he has will be mine

But for all the lieutenant's conceit
He too returned singed and admitting defeat
I had no choice, please believe but retreat
It was bright as the sun but with ten times the heat

And it cracked like the thunder and bloodshot my eyes
Though smothered with sticks it advanced undeterred
Carelessly cast an ash cloud to the sky, my Lord
Like a flock of dark ranching birds

The beetle king slammed down his fist
Your flowery description's no better than his

We sent for the great light and you bring us this
We didn't ask what it seems like we asked what it is

His majesty's hour at last is drawn nigh
The elegant queen took her leave from his side
Without understanding but without asking why
Gathered their kids to come bid their goodbyes

And the father explained you've been somewhat deceived
We've all called me your dad but your true dad's not me
I laid next to your mom and your forms were conceived
Your Father's the light within all that you see

He fills up the ponds as he empties the clouds
Holds without hands and he speaks without sounds
He provides us with the cow's waste and coconuts to eat
Giving one that nice salt taste and the other is sweet

Sends the black carriage the day death shows its face
Thinning our numbers with kindness and grace
And just as a flower and its fragrance are one
So must each of you and your Father become

Now distribute my scepter, my crown and my throne
And all we've known as wealth to the poor and alone
Without further hesitation, without looking back home
The king flew headlong into the blazing unknown

And as the smoke king curled higher and higher
The troops flying loops round the telephone wires
They said our beloved's not dead but his highness instead
Has been utterly changed into fire

Why not be utterly changed into fire?
Why not be utterly changed into fire?
Why not be utterly changed into fire?
Why not be utterly changed into fire?

Why not be utterly changed into fire?
Why not be utterly changed into fire?
Why not be utterly changed into fire?
Why not be utterly changed into fire?
