Well I Say...
Trevor Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spread the wings of your butterfly
I imply
Color me in begin to bring the fantasy to life
To avoid the confusion
We're in an illusion
How much poison can you swallow?
Flip the switch
Feed the inner child until it's full with bliss
Well, I say what you going to do when Dracula comes for you?
Stand there until you go hollow
Mister, mister
Can I get a 10-4?
Do you agree that there's a monster at the front door?
Ready to bang it down
Swallow up the town
Put the children up for ransom
And make himself a crown
Mister, mister
Do you agree
That there's some one in this village that stole our apple seed?
The ocean's drying up
Constellations are corrupt
And all I can hear is this sound
Well I believe
Yes sir, I believe
I believe in the lime tree
Well how did you find me?
I believe in the power that will save
I believe that this monster can finally be tamed
Deep in the hearts of the hearts of the youth
There is a magical flower blooming parachutes
Plenty to go around
Your feet won't hit the ground
This love it comes in pounds
Open up and taste the sound
Well I say
Well I say
I think I've had enough
Today gonna be the day
Last night I had the vision of a princess
Sparked up a candle and lit her up with incense
She whispered in my ear
Baby have no fear
I am here
Dry your tears
All the pirates that are near shall retire when they see my empire
No match for this angel of fire
Mister, mister
Can I get a 10-4?
Do you agree that there's a monster at the front door?
Ready to bang it down
Swallow up the town
Put the children up for ransom
And make himself a crown
Mister, mister
Do you agree
That there's some one in this village that stole our apple seed?
The ocean's drying up
Constellations are corrupt
And all I can hear is this sound
10-4
10-4
Yes he's at the front door
Telling me he's gonna blow it down and that we're captured
Oh my baby
Well don't you be afraid
I've got a secret of all secrets that is keeping him away
At the back door
Back door
Baby there's an angel
Whispering me melodies of all her hidden fables
We will never die
Don't you ever ever cry
Protected by the queen of the sky

Well, I say
Spread the wings of your butterfly, I imply
Colour me in, begin to bring the fantasy to life
To avoid the confusion, we're in an illusion
How much poison can you swallow?
Flip the switch, pucker up and kiss
Feed the inner child until it's full with bliss
Well I say, what you going to do when Dracula comes for you?
Stand there 'til you go hollow, ha
Mister, Mister, can I get a 10-4?
Do you agree that there's a monster at the front door?
Ready to bang it down, swallow up the town
Put the children up for ransom and make himself a crown
Mister, Mister, do you agree
That there's someone in this village that stole our apple seed?
The ocean's drying up and constellations are corrupt

Love this, is so beautiful, love how it is so mellow. I love Trevor Hall. He is one of the best musicians ever!
Eric Levy
Ok... well did you know he spends a lot of time in India where he stays at an ashram with orphans teaching them and learning from a master and donates a ton of money, as for the accent... he spends time in other countries and speaks different languages. Hes not a poser just a spiritual person sharing his journey in the form of vibrations, just like I do.

At one point, this song helped me get the sad out. This was 4 years ago, when I was deeply depressed. Now, this song has new meaning to me.
