Meta Lake Island

"Meta Lake Island"

Here's a story, within a story, so listen up

About a dream, within a dream, I'll back up

Got in a boat, left the land, how could I know?

Over water, rowed by hand, it was worth it but slow

Got to the shore, of an island, so exciting

Got out of the boat onto the sand and made a sighting

Then I walked inland through trees up a highland

Until I reached a lake with its own island

I'm on an island, in a lake

That's on an island, in another lake

An island on an inland lake

I'm in land, I'm on land

That's on an island, in a lake that's great

Life is great, and it's got me smilin'

I am standing on a meta lake island

There's a bird in a nest, how can this be?

In a tree on an island right next to me

That's in a lake I had to swim across

Singin’ a sweet song, sweet as apple sauce

To another bird from another nest to the west

Who just ate a worm, you could tell it was the best

On the ground of an island by a slithering snake

That's in a lake on an island in a lake

I'm on an island, in a lake

That's on an island, in another lake

An island on an inland lake

I'm in land, I'm on land

That's on an island, in a lake that's great

Life is great, and it's got me smilin'

I am standing on a meta lake island

It's like the Droste effect, on a Dutch cocoa tin

Where does it end, where does it begin

I'm on a smaller copy of a duplicated group

A land and water recursive loop

I'm on an island, in a lake

That's on an island, in another lake

An island on an inland lake

I'm in land, I'm on land

That's on an island, in a lake that's great

Life is great, and it's got me smilin'

I am standing on a meta lake island
