Stay in bed Rest your head Please bring home some soup (of course I will dumpling) I’ll call your job Say I was bitten by a dog There’s saliva coming out my mouth Oh dear god, what’s happened to my spouse?! No I don’t wanna take the train, boy I don’t know Put the stopper on the drain, boy If she’ll live Pull up the blanket to my cheeks then I don’t know Let’s pretend that it’s the week end So let’s take off These silly cloths Crack open the champagne The city life has ended It’s just apartment life today But oh, say have you heard me No you haven’t heard me say: Pa pa parara pa para Pa pa parara pa para Bust and bustle This town’s a puzzle Please untie my brain The taxis say hi As we watch from the sky Send them off To their steady jobs Tell my boss I’m not ready, cough No I don’t wanna take the train, boy I don’t know Put the stopper on the drain, boy If she’ll live Pull up the blanket to my cheeks then I don’t know Let’s pretend that it’s the week end The city life has ended It’s just apartment life today But oh, say have you heard me No you haven’t heard me sing

I like stealing star fish while my friend diverts the cops He likes peeling carpets and the taste of soursop Every night we hunt for something real put it in the trunk and watch it squeal From my terrace I can see the little people hum I like how they crush between my index and my thumb There is something wrong with something real There is something wrong and that’s the way i... Take a little sunshine And you’ll see that sometimes Skies that turn gray Can brighten your day And you could be the one to Block me from the sun to day Look out the window believe it There’s a plane going down with the passengers dreaming There’s a glittered man with his eyes full of feeling saying “Let’s go have some fun” And if you stay with me, we’ll put lobsters on the christmas tree And jingle the bells in our bellies with a trampoline I know it’s bad but I can’t find a reason Yes I know it’s sad but I can’t find a reason not to We ate the sun Upon a picnic wedding Three toasts were sung We knew our lives were setting how I hate the sun roasting my roller coaster It burns the birds It ate my maid and chauffeur There’s a ship, there’s a shop There’s a skip, there’s a cop There’s an animal balloon for everyone There’s a drip, there’s a drop There’s a slip and there’s a thought And then there’s every little thing glowing in pain So when I saw you in the room with your animal balloons And your little sharp dress and your frosting perfume I knew you were so close to our little dark tombs and i yelled Let’s go have some fun So when the skies open up and the creatures come in We’ll give out plastic cups and we’ll make them our friends There’ll be songs by the lake, there’ll be songs as it quakes And as the old world expires we’ll be eating our cake There’s no hope but i know, there’s no hope but i know I’d just rather La la lalala lalala lalala la... Take a little sunshine And you’ll see that sometimes Skies that turn gray Can brighten your day And you could be the one to Block me from the sun today

Nature, all around me Crossing monkeys to the other side Sitting pretty brittle with my pretty little bride I think he loves me truly I really love you truly I’ll love you till the day I die Please don’t say those words, you wanna make me cry? Let’s just go: (whistle solo) We've gotta go Splish splash, hold her down, don’t let go And even if you see a lovely toucan You gotta press harder, you gotta press harder We’re getting rid of the man Let’s just go Splish splash, hold him down, don’t let go And if Mr. Alligator stops by Just tell him we’re doing what he should’ve been doing We’re working for the big blue sky Yes we're working for the big blue Oh yes there’s just nature all around me Wiping off the tracks we leave behind Still some blood there, on your dark hair Oh, but what we gonna eat tonight? Is everything gonna be alright? Wasting all our wishes on the little fishes This way we’re never gonna have to do the dishes Tell me do you eat the brain? And do you like the rain? It’s dripping down your face Not on a window pane And are you happy now You look so happy now Finally alone dear, no one phones here Not a single human being in sight But if someone ever finds me Oh please leave me like you found me ‘Cause there’s nature all around me All heavens break They’re falling cakes Right above mid-July Spongeing the tide As the zeuglodons fly Your sheets, you’re shy You just breathe in the leaves Look so pleased that they could stop by and Feast on the flesh of the beast, from inside Tasting it die Tasting it die and as you Blast all the shells in the hell of your head I’ll make the bed That’s what she said Just as we... All I can see Is you and me Shouting wild symmetry Waltzes the trees Far from these candles and clocks My hands that don’t walk They just hold things Whole things And as you feast on the flesh of the beast from inside I'll make it die Right after I make it cry We've gotta go Splish splash, hold her down, don’t let go And even if you see a lovely toucan You gotta press harder, you gotta press harder We’re getting rid of the man Let’s just go Splish splash, hold him down, don’t let go And if Mr. Alligator stops by Just tell him we’re doing what he should’ve been doing We’re working for the big blue sky (Come on everybody) Working for the big blue (Hallelujah!) Yes we're working I said we're working for the big blue sky

Ever since I met you there’s been problems With the world outside our window All the buses run on time 12 o’clock the churches chime It seems that everything Yes, everything... works What’s the fireman to do with no fire What’s the plumber meant to do with no plumbs And the admiral has nothing to admire Except the tips of his thumbs Oh the locksmith he just locks the door And they’re closing all the hardware stores ‘Cause nobody’s ever needed glue Ever since I met you Everything works You better believe it Call up all the animals and give ‘em dessert Yes everything works Grab your bags we’re leaving now We’re high above the ceiling now The grease monkeys and the handy man Are all sad because they’re getting canned And the jeweler and the cobbler too They just sob into their hands So what’s the gunsmith going to do with no guns What’s the goldsmith going to do with no Smith And Mr. Fixit what’s he gonna fix Oh my, he looks so down I think he’d like to die Well let him die Everything works You better believe it Call up all the animals and give ‘em dessert Yes everything works Grab your bags we’re leaving Find the one and watch the world resign ‘Cause everything works just fine Yes everything works just fine Ever since I met you there’s been problems Everyone’s outside our window They’re just waiting for a sign That our love will soon stop shining ‘cause Ever since i met you everything, And I mean everything works

I awoke inside my coffee pot and saw myself Open the lid Just as soon as the spoon came down, I drank some, Tried remembering what I did What I did Why’s my house surrounded by these Burning matches, in the hands of little kids With big eye-lashes If I step outside they’ll turn my feet into ashes You have never seemed so far away Who the hell left out the Milky Wait, it’s not you, Just the universe did not rehearse returning me to you But don’t worry i’ll be there When everything seems to come down to it won’t happen And it won't happen I took my suit, my coat, my suitcase and my throat The street was burning but my heart was burning So much harder The crabs flew by, I grabbed one by the neck it checked to see if i was crazy or something I guess I looked crazy or something And the air freshener in the taxi smelled like Booze and feathers, talked all the way to the airport ‘Bout the weather, as I left the cab everything seemed to get better, who would have thought my flight had to land In a third world bowl of sawdust yellow sand How it flew It’s like the universe keeps trying to keep me away from you And I felt helpless and remembered How one night I told you this would never happen And it won’t happen... And it didn’t happen
