    This tune is actually about two little toy frogs that sit on little plastic flowers on a plastic little pond. I got them in a Kinder Surpise chocolate egg. If your an artist of any kind, you may understand how silly things like this can somehow influence you. I swear i could have written an entire novel on these stupid little things.

    Story Behind the Song
    Bought a Kinder surpise for my girlfriend and as she was opening it i sat at the kitchen table and played E major and E minoe over and over again to annoy her... then i started singing to her and viola... grabbed a beer and went to the recording gear.

    The song is about the two frogs wanting to get out of their prison but later realize that when they finally escape, they lost the safety and are now exposed to the harsher variables of a free existance.

    Lyrics
    Encased in a chocolate egg
    is a plastice shell too
    and inside of that
    are me and you

    male frog: Are we ever going to escape? To simply feel a wind

    For all of our tiny lives,
    we've known nothing but this
    where our water is manufactured smooth
    the flowers are plastic too

    male frog: Do you remember the packaging plant? Do you remember all the people we saw there?
    Femal frog: I can’t remember anything

    My God what is this, this light coming in
    we’ve dreamed to get out but what’s this trying to break in

    we fall out into space
    its so bright i can’t see a thing
    all i’ve known, it falls away
    the panic begins

    I hear you crying my name
    but i still can’t see a thing
    then fading in from the white
    a see a grin

    we’re handled as we’re toys
    like pieces of a game
    pleasure for the little girls and boys
    my God its insane

    they use us for an hour or so
    and baby i can’t do a thing
    piece by piece all we’ve known will be lost
    i’m sorry you have to go through this

    male frog: I love you baby but you must forget me and all of this.
    I will miss you . You have been m
