The Minister of Nonsense and Steam

[Intro] The moon wore a necktie of feathers and glue A one-eyed accordion auctioned the blue The mayor of turnips arrived through a spoon Pulled by six flamingos orbiting June [Verse 1] Down in the cellar of yesterday's cake A choir of fish misplaced gravity's brake They taught all the spiders to juggle the sun Now every eclipse sounds like twenty-one drums A dentist named Velvet sold shadows in jars To pirates on bicycles taxidermied from Mars The clock grew impatient and ate all the hours While mushrooms conducted an orchestra of flowers [Chorus] Oh, dance with the Minister of Nonsense and Steam He's balancing thunder on a tangerine dream The elephants tango on invisible wires And the sky keeps sneezing out mechanical choirs Hey! The world is a teacup of glitter and smoke A magnificent puzzle nobody can solve The rabbits wear crowns made of cinnamon sparks And daylight gets lost in the park after dark [Verse 2] The librarian king of the upside-down sea Declared every sandwich a national tree A committee of clouds filed ceremonial receipts While dragons embroidered arithmetic on the streets Meanwhile in the valley of radioactive bread A philosopher penguin misplaced his own head He borrowed a cabbage from yesterday's storm While reason dissolved into crystalline form [Chorus] Oh, dance with the Minister of Nonsense and Steam He's balancing thunder on a tangerine dream The elephants tango on invisible wires And the sky keeps sneezing out mechanical choirs Hey! The world is a teacup of glitter and smoke A magnificent puzzle nobody can solve The rabbits wear crowns made of cinnamon sparks And daylight gets lost in the park after dark [Bridge] The staircase melted into violin strings The pigeons inherited seventeen kings A submarine knitted from moonbeams and chalk Went searching for silence that learned how to molt [Final Chorus] Dance! With the Minister of Nonsense and Steam The emperor's juggling a radioactive dream The mountains are laughing in twelve-part refrain And the flamingos are pulling the turnip parade Hey! The world is a carnival drifting through space A grin on the face of impossible fate The moon wears a necktie of feathers and glue And the whole mad universe is laughing with you [Outro] The accordion sleeps... The turnips rejoice... The fish forget... And the moon loses its voice... ✧✦═══⊰ - ⊱═══ ✦✧✦ ✦✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧✦ ✦✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧ 🎶 Wir haben eine Deutsche Community für Suno Artisten aufgebaut. 🎶 Wir sind die StorytellerZ und Du findest uns im Discord unter: 👉 https://discord.gg/storytellerz ✧✦═══⊰ - ⊱═══ ✦✧✦ ✦✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧✦ ✦✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧
