Recorded by Ben Handel at Handel Studios in Bloomington Indiana
Composed by Travis Puntarelli

lyrics

moomubaaba

I came out here expecting to find
I didn't know I was expecting to find
but music is sweet American Soul
I'm gonna rocket off the edge of the roll
you are a leak--a treasure to find
a crack growing deeper in the root of my mind
now I know what it is I'm trying to say
even if you want us to we won't go away
I've got friends who glow in the dark
they got here by walking on water
Jilly is finding a cabbage she lost
Scotty wears a crown made of brambles and moss

we don't fear
our lives are good and dear
the stars are bright and clear
I know you think you're really something

but your love is like a Dairy-O
you milk the cow and then you milk the goat
you milk them now, but tonight they'll be baying
don't you wish you understood what they were saying?
"moo moo" "baa baa" "moo moo" "baa baa"
mumubaba mumubaba mumubaba
mumubaba mumubaba mumubaba
"hey Baaba" "yeah Mumoo?"
"I like your name." "I like yours too."
MumuBabaMumuBabaMumuBaba
Mumubabamumubabamumubaba

you're nodding off again tonight
not until the song my hand does wright
my head does right when I tell it to pray
I Left it by the water and the Right went away
now you tell me what's good and bad
and I'll tell you 'my friends can walk on water'
I've got friends in the barn and friends in the basement
big friends and little friends oh friends are my fav'rit

you think you're really something but you're
Lost in space Alone.
embrace your darkest dream.

I might not be anything...
