Song lyrics

Drip drip drop - bit by bit –
It's the dulcet sound of the glacial melt.
Accompanied by the Beluga,
Singing about the hand they've been dealt.
The Emperor and the Arctic Fox listen intently...

"I'm beginning to get glimpses
Of what is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune
"I'm beginning to get glimpses
Of what is called real life"

"Yes, they're lost in myopia"
"Yes, they're lost in myopia"

Surrounded by ostriches
With mouths full of sand.
Their teeth grind the grains,
But their faces don't contort
Perplexed, I am unable
To breathe in their skin
We are all vertebrates,
But where is their backbone now?

"I'm beginning to get glimpses
Of what is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune
"I'm beginning to get glimpses
Of what is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune

As the Emperor watches his numbers plummet
They hear him scream:

"They're living in denial of science
They're happy to defile silence"
Yeah, "They're living in denial of science
They're happy to defile silence"

"I'm beginning to get glimpses
Of what is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune

Deprived is the polar bear
Grasping at straws
To safeguard dividends
They depend on disbelief
Perplexed I am unable
To breathe in their skin
We are all vertebrates
But where is their backbone now?

"I'm beginning to get glimpses
Of what is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune
"I'm beginning to get glimpses
Of what is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune

As the Emperor watches his numbers plummet
They hear him scream:

"They're living in denial of science
They're happy to defile silence"
Yeah, "They're living in denial of science
They're happy to defile silence"
