Ströer Bros. & Fine - Speech Surrenders lyrics

I met a raccoon, his face a mask, he said,"The answer you get is the question you ask. 'Cause just like a bu*terfly caught in the net, the question you ask is the answer you get." There came a dove, astride a steed, she said,"The flame of love is the power you need." I met a bat with leathern wings, said,"This and that: not two different things." I met a cat, she made me an offer, "I bet you a song for a single pauper." Met a mockingbird with a feathered cap, said,"The slickest word's the stickiest trap." Met a crow with a robin's egg, said,"Starve or steal, but never beg. Only a fool is afraid to ask whose tool he is, and for what task." Caught each thought, packed it dense. Beyond the sound is found in sense. Sought the sound and found the sense. Where speech surrenders, song begins. It's a zero-sum game, everybody wins. Speech released and song began when first we realized:"Yes, we can!" Now release the though and set it free, least mind be caught in poetry. We're all pilgrims on this big ball: I said my piece, now heed the call! Speech surrenders, zero-sum game, everybody wins. Speech surrenders, beyond the sound is found in sense. Speech surrenders. Brujo raccoon removed his mask, quipped,"The answer you get is the question you ask." Caterpillar cocooned in Psyche's net, rapped,"What you're not's what you ain't yet." Met a snake, we made a slow deal, "Swap an acre of fake for a snowflake of real." Met a mockingbird with a feathered cap, said,"The slickest word's the stickiest trap." Supersonic bat on silent wings meant,"Mind & matter ain't different things." Shrieked a chimp downhill in a shopping cart: "Ain't no stopping once we start. Only a fool is afraid to ask Whose tool he is and for what task. So blithely chirp like cheery birds wisely perched past reach of words!" Speech surrenders, zero-sum game, everybody wins. Speech surrenders, beyond the sound is found the sense. Speech surrenders.
