- Lyrics
Verse:
An asteroid crashed and nothing burned
It made me wonder
Do tigers sleep in lily patches?
Doctor, rhinos run from thunder.
I got an ache in my left ear
I felt the truth but I still could hear.
Made me think, I would not be burned,
but rather give myself to science,
I felt that I could help
To science, I felt that I can help
Verse:
Paranoid the doctor ran,
Shouting his graphic translation
All out of order
Gang wars and ails of riches,
Spewing forth their color
He purposely waited till I was done
To knock on the lavatory door
Accusing me of ruining the fun,
He knocked on it some more
The fun, He knocked on it some more.
Verse:
An orange suit is raw inside
An apple or a grape
Could put forth a cloud of Mercury
If run over by a car
On a freeway in Los Angeles
Once the spraying has been done
It's a sport made from necessity
You're a portrait of your past,
There's a mummy in the cabinet.
Are there no more arrows left?
What's that rubber bottle doing here?
How's that napkin for a roof
Ten cents to a dollar now
For a shelf of pregnant hens
Robert Palmer is applauded
again, again, again
So stupendous, living in this tube.
