From NPR:
The Heligoats — a strange name for a guy strumming a guitar, but oddly befitting someone who stuffs his songs with so many sideways ideas and observations. Given the yarns he spins here, it's easy to imagine Otepka envisioning a herd of goats with propellers and setting the concept to music.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Some parts of this song are easy with a capo on the first fret but other parts that won't work so well you'll figure it out If you listen to this song it'll be super easy but it's very difficult to write it all out so yeah

Is there a sign on the back of my head that says desensitized
B F# B F#
Mmmmhmmmm Mmmmhmmmmmhmmm
(Way faster now) B F#
Well I'm sorry I said anything You sang a song and then learned to sing
and said that you missed the songs you sang before you learned anything
In a fishbowl on the beach I know the salty water stings
but it's not hard to see from a bowl the world's out of reach
D#, A#, B, F#
I see my face in the lake at the end of a pier
All the fish seem to wonder what I'm doing here
when I hold my head under and hear them all scoff
I just open up my mouth and let my mind jump off
B, F#
It says there's a sign at the end of this swamp that says destruct
it's fucked it's done it's just mud no such dumb luck
Construct new huts blind new kinds of ducks then make them
occupy new titles like on the royal aisle where they print up a phone book
as thick as a bible
D#, A#, B, F#
You were baptized in a river I was thrown off a bridge
Then I landed on a crab you slept with seahorses
I started having seizures you started having kids
You found your inner self I found my inner fish
F#
B, F#
And my other car is a boat it has a boat name I thought we both came
but no No such conch no pontoon no one is listening to you
The sun does wonders to your brain the way it burns right through
I am swimming in a trough I'm sure you've written me off by now but
just when I think that all is lost I see you stepping in the water
D#, A#, B, F#
To me every edge of the lake is a fifty foot cliff
and once you are swimming with me there's no way out of this
So let's just turn back into amphibians
Let's just tread until our legs give in
D#, A#, B, F#
