Don't Cha Go There

Through the sweet forest canyons

Where the honeyed rivers run

There's a thousand wings and colors

Those voices sound as one

Beyond the gates of Eden

The rot within the soil

The Siren in the branches

The endless serpent coil

And as that sickled nectar

Pressed against their lips

The sky's turned red and darkened

To a voice that told them this

Those who chase beauty

Shall find only heartache and pain

You were told don't cha go there

But you went all the same

Now many moons have followed

And that stories by the bed

But the dusk cloaks the pearls

The pages seldom read

We hail the mount of numbers

Chastened by our worth

And forge from pride and envy

False kingdoms here on earth

The servant of desire

Shall reap from what's been sewn

No kingdom shall be spared from time

Those words, they're cast in stone

Those who chase beauty

Shall find only heartache and pain

You were told don't cha go there

But you went all the same

You were told don't cha go there

There's nothing to be found

Those seeds of hope you're counting on

Lie poisoned in the ground

You saddled up a moke

She's a thousand to one

This feathered fare shall whither

As you closer to the sun

Those who chase beauty

Shall find only heartache and pain

You were told don't cha go there

But you went all the same
