What do you think--what do you make out of that recording?
I don't know, gloria, i just--
Some kind of singing. they sound like all kinds of people, right?
Yeah.
And then it says "another child is born in india every time you call this number," right?
Yeah, right.
Does that make any sense to you?
No, it doesn't make no sense to me.
And the guy that spoke--i don't know who he is.
Yeah.
But that--it doesn't sound like no answering machine, right?
No, it ain't an answering machine because they're not saying anything, they're just--
But what does he get--how does he make money on this? whatever he's advertising in the paper, that's the part that don't make no sense.
Oh, he's advertising this in the paper you saw it.

The intellectuals. i put on there may be giants.

Who's they may be giants?
What are you talking about?
That's what's on my--the phone, there may be--argh, well i can't explain it. 'cause i don't know what it is. look in the paper, don't blame me if the guy's a nut.

I was working all night in my office
When a man i had recently killed
Called me up from a phone near my building
So i looked out the window at him
He had the same obsequious manner
That was the reason i had him killed
So to calm my nerves i sang this song
To him, over the phone

Turn around, turn around
There's a thing there that can be found
Turn around, turn around
It's a human skull on the ground
Human skull on the ground
Turn around

I was out by myself in the graveyard
I was doing an interpretive dance
When i felt something heavy and pointed
Strike me in the back of the neck
And then the ghost of my dance instructor
Pushed me down into an open grave
And as dirt rained down she played a xylophone
And sang me this song

Turn around, turn around
There's a thing there that can be found
Turn around, turn around
It's a human skull on the ground
Human skull on the ground
Turn around

We were waving our arms out the window
Of a fast moving passenger train
Acting in an irresponsible fashion
Until the engineer whose back had been turned
And who we thought would find us highly amusing
Quickly swiveled his head around
And his face which was a paper-white mask of evil
Sang us this song

Turn around, (round) turn around (round)
There's a thing there that can be found (there's a thing there that can be)
Turn around, (found) turn around (round)
It's a human skull on the ground (it's a human skull on the)
Human skull (ground) on the ground (round)
Turn around (turn around, turn around)

Turn around, (round) turn around (round)
There's a thing there that can be found (there's a thing there that can be)
Turn around, (found) turn around (round)
It's a human skull on the ground (it's a human skull on the)
Human skull (ground) on the ground (round)
Turn around (turn around, turn around)

Someday mother will die and i'll get the money
Mom leans down and says, "my sentiments exactly,
You son of a bitch"

Notes
Dial-a-song had a substantially different song with the same name. this piece, which had a different melody and was sung by flansburgh instead of linnell, goes as follows:

If i wasn't shy
If i wasn't shy

I'd burn all the uniforms
I'd burn all the "ask me" buttons
I'd burn all the intercoms
I'd burn all the time clock cards

If i wasn't shy
If i wasn't shy

I'd steal somebody's cadillac
I'd steal anything i lack
I'd steal all the microphones
From all the masters of ceremony

If i wasn't shy
If i wasn't shy

I'd ask you, if you don't mind,
To kiss you a hundred times

If i wasn't shy
If i wasn't shy

Which describes how you're feeling all the time
Which describes how you're feeling all the
Feeling all the time
There's this guy in the sky and he makes you want to
Want to make you sigh, like the time
When you felt like you're feeling all the time
And you sighed at the cracks in the ceiling all the time
You said "i'm feeling fine" but it didn't really rhyme
It didn't rhyme, overseas

Which describes how you're feeling all the time

It describes how you're feeling

Which describes how you're feeling all the time
When you lie that your life's unappealing all the time
But your lie doesn't rhyme with the word overseas
Overseas there's this guy
Who describes how you're feeling all the time
In his mind he can find how you're feeling all the time
From behind distant lines
Even straighter than his spine
Which is fine
Which is fine
And describes how you're feeling all the time

The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
The statue made me die
The statue made me die
It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky

The stone it called to me
(and now i see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(an animated mineral it can be heard)

And though i once preferred a human being's company
They pale before the monolith that towers over me

The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
The statue made me fry
The statue made me fry
My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy

The stone it called to me
(and now i see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(an animated mineral it can be heard)

And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high

And now it is your turn
(your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn)
The stone it calls to you
(you can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)

And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they'll find is just a statue
Standing where the statue got you high

Words fail
Buildings tumble
The ground opens wide
Light beams down from heaven
She stands before my eyes

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
As she drives away

Big men
Often tremble
As they step aside
I thought i was big once
She changed my mind

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me.
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Nationwide, believe

She's got
All the money
Money couldn't buy
She's got something special
That someone left behind

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
Actual size to her

Her face
Hangs in portrait
On the post office wall
She's stuck in my heart now
Where my blood belongs

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Actual size, believe

Notes
Here's the best guess so far about the lyrics to "larger than life." please give input. i need help with all of the reggae lyrics!

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me

Words fail
Buildings tumble
The ground opens wide
Light beams down from heaven
She stands before my eyes

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
As she drives away

Big men
Often tremble
As they step aside
I thought i was big once
She changed my mind

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Nationwide, believe

You think she's big, you think she's larger than life
But if you open up your eyes you'll see she's actual size
You think she's big, you think she's larger than life
But if you open up your eyes you'll see she's actual
In your mind you have her on a pedestal
You admire her from afar like she's a china doll
You need to realize
Before you ????
So go ahead, approach the girl, it up to you ????

You think she's big, you think she's larger than life
But if you open up your eyes you'll see she's actual size
You think she's big, you think she's larger than life
But if you open up your eyes you'll see she's actual

She's got
All the money
Money couldn't buy
She's got something special
That someone left behind

She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Actual size, believe

Words fail
Buildings tumble
Light beams down from heaven
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
