[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] There once was a shoreline chequered black and white, Where footprints rearranged themselves each night, The pebbles in the water weren't pebbles anymore, Just footballs and bowling balls washing to the shore. The sea couldn't decide if it was liquid or stone, And reflections watched a little longer than their own, Glass fruit chimed softly from a tree upon a hill, Then rolled the wrong direction simply because it will. [Chorus] Welcome to Bizarro Bay, Where nothing works the normal way, Up is down and left is right, Morning sometimes follows night. Every path can twist and sway, Every rule gets thrown away, Strangest place you'll ever see, Built by imagination running free. [Verse 2] A clown mouse juggled fire high above a carpet cliff, The cheese balls flew off sideways with a sudden little drift, Confetti filled the fibres from explosions bright and loud, Yet somehow he kept smiling as he bowed before no crowd. The popple trees went popping in a bubble-wrapped wood, Butterfly mice drifted where they thought they probably should, One got stuck in bunting and forgot what it was for, Then fluttered off again like it remembered something more. [Chorus] Welcome to Bizarro Bay, Where nothing works the normal way, Cake becomes a mountainside, Logic takes a holiday ride. Every corner, every bend, Makes you wonder what's round the end, Strangest place you'll ever see, Built by imagination running free. [Verse 3] Over sponge-cake hills that bounced beneath each step they made, Cactus mice in top hats hopped a sliding obstacle parade, Bright yellow wellies squeaked and skidded, never standing still, Leaping over glitter puddles dancing down the hill. One misjudged the landing with a startled static crack, Its spikes puffed up like dandelions as it hurried back, Cain laughed, they gave them fashion. but not much common sense to use, Eli grinned, cause that sounds exactly like something they'd do. [Pre-chorus] We were younger when we built this, Every random thought allowed, Looking back it felt ridiculous, Now looking back it made us proud. [Chorus] Welcome to Bizarro Bay, Where nothing works the normal way, Every path can twist and sway, Every rule gets thrown away. Built from every random thought, Every lesson never taught, Strangest place we'll ever see, Built by imagination running free. [Verse 4] Padded satin paths lay crooked, Corduroy clouds hung upside down, Roots reached high where branches should be, Buried leaves rustled underground. Then an accordion-necked mouse leaned down, Plasma orbs in glowing flight, Squealing out a polka fanfare, As its neck snapped back from sight. [Bridge] Some worlds were built with careful plans, Others grew from messy hands, Before the maps and grand designs, Before they learned to colour inside lines. A patchwork dream of every thought, Every lesson never taught, Every silly thing they made, Still survives in Bizarro Bay. [Final Chorus] Welcome to Bizarro Bay, Where nonsense never fades away, Every strange and tangled scene, Comes from who we've always been. What once felt broken, wild and odd, Still survived against the odds, Past the chaos, past the play, We'll find the path and save the day. [Instrumental break] [Outro] Then through the air came something sweet, Carried softly on the breeze they'd meet, A scent of cheddar, brie and gold, A story waiting to be told. Past the hills and through the haze, At the end of all the maze, Stood a cottage glowing bright... Granny Gouda's shack in sight Granny Gooda's shack in sight
