Honeymoon In Polynesia

Another winning entry for Songfight!. Sort of a fantasy of amnesia. I know that doesn't help any but you'll have to run with it. Tonamel provides vocals for the break (although he probably doesn't know it) which I dutifully reversed and pitch shifted for harmony. I was at a loss for lyrics until I stumbled across some supposedly "traditional" Polynesian sayings that I use as a base.

a warrior dies in battle

 climbers die on the cliff

 gardeners die by aging

 in the end they're all stiff

when fighters fall, another

 will rise - a new name

 fame in war is soon forgotten

 but hunger remains

honeymoon in the garden of eden

 it's not what it seems

 after dining on cassava and honey

 i've had these weird dreams

where i don't know if it's trippin

 can't tell when it's not

 but i can't wait till we're goin

 don't need what's forgot

and i've come to think 

 that this posturing act is a gas

 but if someone's gonna fall then I'll pass

 cause it really isn't me after all 

spent some time in Maupiti

 what I remember is thin

 Motu One hosts a pleasent reefee

 great place for a swim

now i can't see where I'm going

 just know where i been

 i don't know what I'm saying

 but I know what I mean

and i come to think 

 that this posturing act is a gas

 but if someone's gonna fall then I'll pass

 cause it really isn't me after all
