Van Occupanther
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"I must be careful now in my steps
Years of calculations and the stress
My science is waiting, nearly complete
One glass will last for nearly a week
Let me not get down from walking with no-one
and if I stumble from exhaustion
These buckets are heavy, I fill them with water
I could ask these people, but I shouldn't bother
Oh no, I've stumbled, was I going too fast?
Some get angry, some of them laugh
They told me I wouldn't, but I found an answer
I'm Van Occupanther, I'm Van occupanther!
Let me not be too consumed with this world
Sometimes I want to go home
and stay out of sight for a long time
Let me not be too consumed with this world
Sometimes I want to go home
and stay out of sight for a long time
"
