about

composed by Xaliman. Booth, Raine-Reusch
recorded at Ocean Sound Vancouver
engineered by Tracy Marks, Kieth Towstego

lyrics

I see you are tied to a tree
by a symphony of strings
While high on a branch up above
I'm a lark resting wings
Bees taught lightening stings
And warning hums
It's not funny when you lose your honey

Don't fret, don't fear, don't worry
I'll stay hear and listen to you
Ring out like a bellhop caught
In the middle of the Beehive Jive

Like a childish ogre
Happy just to run
Collecting all the sweet things
Taking easy, having fun
By reaching for the honey
You may have gone too far
Now you're following the bats
Who in turn are following sonar

Beehive Jive
