Atrus
Why do you always send me out to do your dirty work
You know I’ve never been real good at doing my homework
Couldn’t you just go yourself and not be such a jerk
You know I’ll help you anyway,
But can’t you just give me a tour stead of ‘specting me to play all by myself?
Well the island of Myst is a pretty rad place
But I’m gonna need some hints to gain some knowledge
I could try to go swimming or wash my face,
But the water seems a little too solid
In the stone ship age I can find the torn page
But the power source is so annoying
And in Channelwood, the water puts me in the mood
But the second level’s just so confusing
I’ll ride some swirly girlies through the selenetic age
And let those fortress gears work me up into a rage
Just to find old Atrus sitting back in Dunny
And all he has to say is go check out my library
Oh Atrus
Why do you always send me out to do your dirty work
You know it hurt when I fell so far through the star fissure
And now your making me do all this math and symbol work
You know I’ll help you anyway,
But can’t you just give me a tour stead of ‘specting me to play all by myself?
Now from Todlemer to laik’ian
I’ve been finding those keeps to the edge of dyin
Nobelin was pretty cool
But Escher uses the Bahro as tools
Though you have to admit
It’s annoying that the Bahro just froze
And yeah the pedistal would look less like a pixel
If they used good old fashioned photos
Oh Atrus
Why do you always send me out to do your dirty work
You know it hurt when I fell so far through the star fissure
And now your making me do all this math and symbol work
You know I’ll help you anyway,
But can’t you just give me a tour stead of ‘specting me to play all by myself?
But the best ones start with Rs
Yes the best one’s start with Rs
Yes Riven was pretty blasted beautiful
But it hardly compensates for dealin with that Ghen
That wackadoo old bat
At least theres Catherine
But where’s the prison island?
And Revelation
Was probably the best game
They even got Peter Gabrielle to sing that song
Haven and Spire awaken and inspire
All greatest travels I’ve ever had
Oh Myst games
Why are you always just so freaking beautiful
You know I’d rather play you all day than go to school
I wish I could just touch the monitor
And link into your worlds, oh, my myst games
