about

An idiosyncratic investment opportunity offered by the realtor Butch Birch.

This song is a collaboration between Lukas Olson and James Horvath. It is the second installment of their Space Trilogy.

lyrics

Well, hi!
My name's Butch Birch and I'm your real estate guy
You saw my face on that bus stop bench and I'm glad that you stopped by
I wanna help you find that place where you can live it up real good
I wanna help you find that space where you can live just like you should
Don't you think you could?

But I'm not gonna walk you down those big-house city blocks
We're hiking down the nature path made of dirty rocks
May I draw your attention to those big old honking trees?
Don't you think you could see yourself living up amongst the leaves?
Peeking through your tree...

You could build your treehouse hut and feast on nuts and fruit
Living in sweet harmony with all the planet's roots

Because you see my friend, you really are like a tree
You got your foot-roots, your branchy arms and you hair is just your leaves
And your mind is your treehouse, yes, it's your own Earth-space home base
So live an image of your own true self and put a smile upon that face
Grinning all over the place

Do you find it strange for me to say you are a tree?
Well, yes- you should be living inside your tree
You should be playing tree!
Control your tree
Irrigate your tree
Be inside your tree with me

You are such a tree, my friend
You got some fingers and toes, last time I checked you probably have ten!
All those branches, can't you see?
But listen...

Don't settle in, we're gonna tell everybody about this opportunity
Just pass my number along and I'll help them find their tree
We're gonna spread the word across the land, I'll talk later about the fee
To let nature guide your earthly life is the truest luxury
It's good to be as rich as me...

Yeah, it's real estate
