[Jazz Intro] [Verse 1] Lanterns swinging on a crooked road Blue cloak dragging dust behind him He hums like he's tuning a broken radio And the llamas click their teeth in time then He says he's been everywhere, deserts, jungles, oceans That maps aren't telling But he never looks you in the eye When he tells you what he's selling [Verse 2] Emeralds clinking in his pocket Like they're whispering for spice He says good deals, good deals But a smile folds sideways like he's hiding the real price He asks where you're headed But doesn't wait for the answer, just nods Like he already knows And doesn't approve [Jazz Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Sometimes he talks to the air Like someone's walking beside him Someone you can't see And the llamas click their teeth in time then He says he's got potions, maps, things he found, Things he borrowed, Things he rescued from the wrong hands Says he'll explain on the morrow [Chorus] He'll trade you a bucket of milk For a story you haven't told yet He'll trade you a lead For a promise you won't have met He'll trade you a flower For the name of someone you regret [Bridge] And when the moon gets too bright Or the wind shifts the wrong way He pulls his hood low, snaps his finger And the llamas turn like a single creature All at once without a moment to linger [Outro] He leaves before you realize You never saw his footprints Just stirred up dust from where it was And the faint smell of something that shouldn't glow Yet it does And if you call after him, he never turns Just lifts a hand, waves without looking back And mutters, I'll be back around when the price is right [Jazz Instrumental Break] [Chorus] He'll trade you a bucket of milk For a story you haven't told yet He'll trade you a lead For a promise you won't have met He'll trade you a flower For the name of someone you regret [Bridge] And when the moon gets too bright Or the wind shifts the wrong way He pulls his hood low, snaps his finger And the llamas turn like a single creature All at once without a moment to linger [Instrumental Outro] Note: This is an early Suno demo version.
