Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I said, "I'm a barista"
She heard, "Barrister"
Misunderstanding my baritone stammer
That tricky to understand
Led to the overland
Ticket right in my hand, took it
[Verse 2]
And left down the stream
To investigate all domesticated
Couples who misunderstand
All the intricate
And the outricated concepts
[Chorus]
Of love as the final destiny
Chasing it like a park ranger
Shoot for celestial candy floss
Licking it like there's no danger
[Verse 3]
Destiny
Cyclical symmetry
Upturn the commentary
Turn to familiar simile
Destiny
Hemorrhage the Muscovy
Off shore the family
In anonymity
[Verse 4]
Pack up and flee through the snow
To escape the wrath of the
Continental covenant
Poised, shrewd, and primed
To convert the bonds of the military
Mighty for
[Chorus]
Love as the final destiny
Chasing it like a park ranger
Shoot for celestial candy floss
Licking it like there's no danger
[Bridge]
Call from the wilds of the barren lands
On the slopes of the volcano as
Old marmalade
Drips from mantel piece
Down the corrugated edges of
[Chorus]
Love as the final destiny
Lifting it like a pall bearer
Shoot for celestial candy floss
Licking it like there's no danger
Love as the final destiny
Legging it like a park ranger
Hark for celestial candy floss
And fall asleep like there's no danger
