unknown

Maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do

I hear them whispering as i walk by
She's gonna break his heart and make him cry
I know it's me they're talking about
I bet they all think i'll never find out

But maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do

Deep down inside she loves me
Though she may run around
I know someday she'll love me
Someday she'll settle down

But maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do

Oh, maybe i know that she's been a-cheating
Maybe i know that she's been untrue
But what can i do

glistening white triangular tooth
Open up a can of tomato juice

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

Girlfriend took me to meet her dad
He didn't like me because i look so bad

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

Girlfriend took me to meet her mom
Her head exploded like a atom bomb

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

Glistening white triangular tooth
Open up a can of tomato juice

cafe con pan, cafe con pan,

Rock on my hubba, the beat is blubba
Being stingy on the pike collect the one into the otha
Careen in tandem, the sea into the landem
The people in the pix they want to scarf and dig the clamdem

Awwwwwwwww yes! mr excitement!

We nix the glaben, the knifey-knife is staben
Protrude into the hoobalicious scoff the extra aden
I write the mooky, my verse is extra spooky
Like flansy in a soda can, it's trooky-trooky-trooky

Awwwwwwwww yes! mr excitement!

Stormy pinkness
Human weakness
Fills my jolly cup with gloom*
Your progression
My digression
Forty days this afternoon
The things we cherish are small indeed
So much the larger the need
Stormy pinkess
Set me thanklessly free

In the same way as i do

Hup, two, three, four, marching down the street
Rollin' of the drums and the tramping of the feet
General salutes and the mothers wave and weep
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid, prices paid
One more parade

So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed, light the flame
One more parade

Listen for the sound and listen for the noise
Listen for the thunder of the marching boys
A few years ago their guns were only toys
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid, prices paid
One more parade

So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed, light the flame
One more parade

Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Trained to kill as they're trained to stand
Ten thousand ears need only one command
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid, prices paid
Don't be ashamed, war's a game
World's in flames, so start the parade

The edison museum, not open to the public
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above
Folks drive in from out of town
To gaze in amazement when they see it

Just outside the gate i look into the courtyard
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm
Through the iron bars, i see the black maria
Revolving slowly in its platform
In the topmost tower, the lights burn dim
A coiling filament glowing within

The edison museum, once a bustling factory
Today is but a darkened cobweb covered hive of industry
The tallest, widest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey

Behind a wooden door, the voice of thomas alva
Recites a poem on a phonograph
Ghosts float up the stairs, like silent moving pictures
The loyal phantoms of his in house staff
A wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt
But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out

The edison museum, not open to the public
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it
The oldest, greatest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey

sensurround


When i was only a zygote
I still remember the time
When there was nothing to know or to think about
Except the sound of my mind
And the sound from outside

Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround

If mom had known she was expecting
She might have gone to see "jaws"
Instead of picking the film where the sound effects
Came right up through the floor
And i'd be differently formed

Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround

Accidentally in a coal mine
It was found
When they accidentally dug too far down
And found the sensurround

I still don't know who conceived it
Or where they got the idea
But there it was in the aisle by the exit sign
A woofer covered in wood
To shake the world when it should

Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
Made the fakeness realistic
When the action went ballistic
One degree shy of sadistic
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround

If i could swim under the water
Without having to breathe
If i could follow the trail to the ocean floor
I think i know what there'd be
Down there waiting for me

Sensurround
Down at the bottom
Sensible to ear and sternum
Made the fakeness realistic
When the action went ballistic
One degree shy of sadistic
And the world first spoke to me in sensurround

bangs
Above your eyes your hair hangs
Blow my mind your royal flyness i dig your bangs

Bangs
To drape across your forehead
To swing concordant angles as you incline your head

Once with a girl i fell in love sometime ago now she had...

Bangs
Are that on which the world hangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs

Bangs
Are like a pocket t-shirt
As casual as that while fully intentional

And in case you think i'm here cause i like making chit chat
Just remember what i said the money's under your hat

Bangs
Are that on which the world hangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs

Bangs
Above your eyes your hair hangs
Blow my mind your royal flyness i dig your bangs

Bangs
To drape across your forehead
To swing concordant angles as you incline your head

And although i like you anyway, check out your haircut
A proscenium to stage a face that needs no makeup

Bangs
Are that on which the world hangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs
I'm only holding your hand so i can look at your bangs

We love all the people
And we love to rock the house
No one knows we're coming
So no one's coming out

To this particular rock club
Have we played this club before?
Y'see i can't remember
If we've played this club before

Put your hands together
Get on your knees and pray
Next time we come around here
We won't be back this way

Or to this particular rock club
Is that really the p.a.
Or just somebody's radio
Left in the corner of the room?

It's the feel-good sublet of the summer
The leaseholder left their cigars in the drawer
This place will hold us for one whole summer
Don't use the stove, refrigerator, or door

Feel-good sublet of the summer
The leaseholder left their cigars in the drawer
Feel-good sublet of the summer
Don't use the stove, refrigerator, or door

Killer sublet
For the summer
Chessboard missing all of the pawns
Four flight up and
Find yourself knowing
Feel-good sublet forevermore

If you only sublet one apartment
Let it be this one

Each night i lie awake
Completely alone
A voice is calling, and i tremble
For it's not my own
My own
I can't ignore it
Although i try
The intrusive whisper fascinates me
Here's why
Here's why

The secrets gather 'round as the voice recites
The secret history of my immortal soul

Indestructable
Indefensible
Reprehensible
10,000 years of unerasable acts
And permanent facts
The record of my
Unspeakable crimes
In previous lives
In previous times
Indelibly stains
The pages of history

Indestructible
Indefensable
Reprehensible
Night after night a voice recites my misdeeds
And puts me to sleep
But tells me that i
Won't remember a thing

When morning comes at last
I rub my eyes
Remember nothing and thinking
Only of my plans
My plans

The world is spinning 'round and i'm on the top
And nothing in the world can ever make me stop

Indestructible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
10,000 years of unerasable acts
And permanent facts
And only i know
Who's responsible
Indefensible
Reprehensible
Me

it's knocking off my diamond wig
Knocking me down unto the platinum ground
Woke up in a beautiful dream alone
Alone

I got hit by a mink car
Hit by a mink car driven by a guitar
And the silver chauffer says that it's all in your head
When your 24 carat dead
Dead

In my dream she is reaching past my hollow core
Then her smile is the open sign on an abandoned store

I got hit by a mink car

Hit by a mink car driven by a guitar and the silver chauffer says that it's all
In your head
When your 24 carat dead
Dead
Dead

Now broom, you must now sweep for me
The dust it fills my room
No, john, i will not sweep for you
For i am not your broom

What nonsense are you speaking, broom
My words you must obey
Another life awaits me and
I'm leaving you today

I am not your broom
I am not your broom
I've had enough, i'm throwing off
My chains of servitude

I am not your broom
I am not your broom
No longer must i sweep for you
For i am not your broom

back in high school i knew a girl
Not too simple and not too kind
We both grew up, but i heard she'd changed
From a new wave fan to another kind

She think's she's edith head
But you might know she's not
The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up

She think's she's edith head
Or helen girlie brown
Or some other cultural figure
We don't know a lot about

It's been years since i moved away
But at christmas i come home
And i saw her reflection
In the window of a store

She was talking to herself
Not too simple and not too kind
I walked on by, it was complicated
And it stuck in my mind

She think's she's edith head
But you might know she's not
The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up

The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up
The accent in her speech
She didn't have growing up

She think's she's edith head
She think's she's edith head now
She think's she's edith head
She think's she's edith head now

She think's she's edith head
She think's she's edith head now
She think's she's edith head
She think's she's edith head now

They might be giants dial-a-song
Not too clear, and not too long

And your call is next!

The urge to take you grows more strong
For time had made me wait too long
Each watch i smash apart
Just adding to my power
Each watch i smash apart
Just bringing near the hour
Of 25 o'clock, that's when you're going to be mine
25 o'clock, we'll be together 'til the end of time
At 25 o'clock

The ticking seconds hear them call
My spell of hours will make you fall
Each timer that i break
Will halt the flowing sands
Each timer that i break
Will put you in my hands
At 25 o'clock, that's when you're going to be mine
25 o'clock, we'll be together 'til the end of time
At 25 o'clock

Each watch i smash apart
Just adding to my power
Each watch i smash apart
Just bringing near the hour
Of 25 o'clock, that's when you're going to be mine
25 o'clock, we'll be together 'til the end of time
Of 25 o'clock, that's when you're going to be mine
25 o'clock, we'll be together 'til the end of time
'til the end of time
'til the end
'til the end of time

I find it hard to believe
I find it hard to believe
That i'm embarassed at me
For being upset
Over acting so contemptuously (i find it hard to believe)
Acting so contemptuously (i find it hard to believe)
Acting so contemptuously (that i'm embarassed at me)
Acting so contemptuously (that i'm embarassed at me)
(for being upset over acting so contemptuously)
Acting so contemptuously (acting so contemptuously)
Acting so contemptuously (on me)
I find it hard to believe

Nevada, nevada
The dream of every girl
Nevada, nevada
The acorn of the squirrel

Ladies falling from the treetops
Calling out in heaven's name
Parachutes of dresses
Saving every dame

Nevada, nevada
The dream of every gal
Nevada, nevada
The helper and the pal

Second day he called me from intensive care

For the evidence of what a wreck he had

i'll take back my pinata it's wasted on you
Just spinning that pool cue all over the room
And give back the blindfold that's under your shoe

Let's drink, drink this town is so great
Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive
What words rhyme with buried alive

You could be a float for the 4th of july
Based on your theme of "wallflowers grown wild"
Look thru your peephole, you've won every prize

Let's drink, drink this town is so great
Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive
What words rhyme with buried alive

In your monkey suit on a cigarette break
The lunchtime crowd, they won't even blink
But you'd be sad if they did
But you'll be sad...

Let's drink, drink this town is so great
Drink, drink cuz it's never too late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with buried alive
What words rhyme with buried alive

i'm asleep but she's talking to me
She's walking 'round wearing all of my clothes
As she runs out of things to say
And grabs my coat to walk away

How 'bout another first kiss, she said
How 'bout another first kiss, i said
I want another first kiss like this
How 'bout another first kiss

Other people were too sentimental
Always worrying about their hair
Got tired of wasting all my time
Now i'm not worrying at all

How 'bout another first kiss, she said
How 'bout another first kiss, i said
I want another first kiss like this
How 'bout another first kiss

You could tell me we belong together
And i could tell you, you belong with me
But we've run out of things to say
And we'll be happy anyway, so

How 'bout another first kiss, she said
How 'bout another first kiss, i said
I want another first kiss like this
How 'bout another first kiss

How 'bout another first kiss, she said
How 'bout another first kiss, i said
I want another first kiss like this
How 'bout another first kiss

She's got her ear to the walls and she's tappin' the calls
If you've got a secret boy, forget about it, 'cause she's a

Hotel detective
My little
Hotel detective
Yeah she's a
Hotel detective
Why don't you check her out

Well the bellhop is funky
The dumbwaiter's a monkey
If there's a knock at the door, boy, forget about it, 'cause she's a

Hotel detective
My little
Hotel detective
Yeah
Hotel detective
Cone on and check her out

She says she likes my face
She says she owns the place
Forget about it, 'cause she's a

Hotel detective
My little
Hotel detective
Come on her
Hotel detective
Why don't you check her out

Hotel detective
Come on and swing with me
Hotel detective
From the top of a tree
Hotel detective
And make me feel like a bee
Hotel detective
That's where i want to know you

my man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
Why then am i in bed?
I guess my man's fallen out with my head

May i direct your attention to the following simile
You're like the coasts of an ocean
Buried beneath is a submarine cable
Connecting the opposite shores that surround it

My man
How can he stand?
Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle
My man won't walk again
In conflict with express instructions given by the brain
Why can't the message be sent?
I guess my man's fallen out with my head

When something happens to drag on the floor of the ocean
For instance an anchor or mooring
The cable can be disrupted and even be severed
Which halts the transmission across it

There is no way to repair the break

My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
My man
How can he stand?
My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Won't walk again

Ten miles from nowhere
There's a story that's true
About a fine girl
And a boy just like you
They fell so deeply
But then fell apart
Now they say the same words
Of what used to be
What used to be

I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)

He drops his car keys
And crawls on the ground
Finds her old haircomb
She'd wear into town
Can't bear to keep it
Or throw it away
Gets back down on his kness
Put it back where it lay
Back where it lay

I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)
I blame you (i blame you)



Notes

There is a different song on dial-a-song with the same tune as this. it is titled "free bird's rebirth," and goes:

Listen dear people
To a story so sad
About a poor boy
Who never went bad
He got some chain mail
But he broke the chain
Now he must sing free bird
Again and again
Again and again
Again and again

Free bird
Free bird

The shining spoons of this town
All point in your direction
Can you keep a secret?
We can trust you, we can throw you

Are you sitting on your feet?
How much cake can you eat?
Are you sitting on your feet?
How much cake can you eat?
Are you sitting on your feet?
How much cake can you eat?
Are you sitting on your feet?
How much cake can you eat?

Okay, okay, settle down everyone. okay, please, please.
Alright, it's showtime everyone. listen, i've got a story to tell.
When i first accepted the job as personal manager and stylist for they might be giants, the boys said:
"mario, integrity is everything! you keep the money. we'll live on love--the love we have for sophisticated head-bobbing music!"
But i told them, "you guys are gonna have to change everything! flansburgh, you need new clothes. that fringe jacket and platform shoes thing is completeley out! and linnell, shave the beard and get yourself a hair transplant. maybe an accordion would be good. i don't know."
Boy, were those guys mad at me. but it's all water under the bridge, now. i'll tell ya, my boys have crossed over with a look and sound all my own. i guess you could say i made them, but i prefer to think i simply own them.
Ladies and gentlemen, my boys, the only band that refuses to be a force to be reckoned with, those twin quasars of rock, let's give a warm round of applause for they might be giants!

I need some lovin'
Some turtle-dovin'
To dry the ocean
Of tears running down my spine

I need some kissing
But i know you're listening
To all the radios
That tune in to read my mind

They say
Loose lips
Fat cheeks
White teeth
Big hair
Brass bed
With a sign that reads
Nobody rides for free

I need a honey
To spend my money
To call my phone machine
And hang me up at night

I need some lovin'
Some turtle-dovin'
To dry the ocean
Of tears running down my spine

i've been working hard, trying to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair and practicing my stare
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And i'm working undercover for the man
Sha-la-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la

Planning midnight raids on our unsuspecting fans
While the roadies rig the video surveillance van
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And i'm working undercover for the man
Sha-la-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la

I've been working hard, practicing to sing and play guitar
Growing out my hair and working on my stare
Paid to fake it in a traveling band
And i'm working undercover for the man
Sha-la-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la

Call out the undertaker
Call out the police
Counterfeit faker
Is coming after me

Yes, i loved him like my brother
I loved him ambiguously
There's no way to measure the damage he has done

Counterfeit faker
Carries a grudge

Nervous, i walk through windows
I walk through a plate glass door
Silent, his presence mocks me
And draws me on some more

Counterfeit faker
The damage has been done

The damage has been done
The damage has been done
Counterfeit faker
Bring him on

I'm on the next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine

Told her i was gonna be a star
But to do it i would have to go far away
But i'll come back someday
And take her away

I'm on the next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine

Said that over here i wasn't in
Down in hollywood i couldn't find a friend
Who would help me get in
Or listen to me

I'm on the next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine

Maybe over there i'll get a start
Only hope by leaving i don't break her heart
The more important part
Than any record on the chart

Next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
That baby of mine

Next plane to london
Leaving on runway number five
Next plane to london and i'm missing her
Whoa-whoa

hey hovering sombrero
Gently waving in the air above the meadow
Softly floating in the sky outside the window
Hovering sombrero don't be shy

Don't... don't be shy
Don't be... terrified
When you take yourself for granted
Feel rejected and unwanted
Know you're never just a hat
You're never only just a hat, you know
Hovering sombrero
Hovering sombrero

Time is flying like an arrow
And the clock hands go so fast they make the wind blow
And it makes the pages of the calender go flying out the window one by one
Til a hundred years are on the front lawn
And the old familiar things are mostly all gone
But the old sombrero just keep hovering on
Hovering sombrero hover on

Don't be burdened by regrets
Or make your failures an obsession
Or become embittered or possessed
By ruined hopes remember

When you take yourself for granted
Feel rejected and unwanted
Know you're never just a hat
You're never only just a hat, you know
Hovering sombrero
Hovering sombrero

Every christmas card i write
Every christmas card i write
Has been stolen
Has been stolen
Every christmas card i write has been stolen

Every christmas card i write has been stolen
Every christmas card i write has been stolen
Has been stolen
Has been stolen
Every christmas card i write has been stolen

Stolen
Has been stolen
Every christmas card i write
On the little desk in the corner of my room

I find stolen the next day
I find stolen the next day
All of the christmas cards i write
Become stolen the next day
From my room

In my little desk in the corner of my room
Every christmas card i write
Is stolen
Is stolen
Every christmas card i write
Been stolen
From the little desk in the corner of my room
It's been stolen

Every day
Every christmas card i write
Has been stolen from my desk
I don't know why
It's been stolen
It's been stolen
Stolen
Stolen
Stolen
Stolen
Stolen

i never knew what everybody meant by endless, hopeless bleak despair
Until one day when i found out
The first time i ever left my house
It saw me and followed me home
And stayed with me for my whole life

For years and years i wandered the earth
Condemned to a life of bleak despair
Then one day i looked around and found
It had disappeared

All this bleak despair
It was always there
And then one day it disappeared
In a puff of smoke
In an unceremonious way
One day it disappeared

All i had ever wanted in my life was only to be free of it
It drove away my family
It made me lose my job
Whenever anybody saw it
They'd say get out of here

For years and years i wandered the earth
Sick of my life, looking forward to death
The one day i looked around and found
It had disappeared

All this bleak despair
It was always there
And then one day it disappeared
In a puff of smoke
In an unceremonious way
One day it disappeared

For years and years i wandered the earth
Until i died and went to hell but my
Despair had ascended to heaven
That's how i finally got rid of it

You're only happy when you're sad
You're top fueled and you're bad
Parachute in your back pack and
Your knees under your chin
And your boyfriend's getting mad
At all the time you waste
Trying to put your finger on it
The allure of st. marks place

On the drag, on the drag
You're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back
On the drag, on the drag
It's a genuine disaster
And it's come to make you king
On the drag

"i won't die until i'm dead,"
Are the first words that he said
Don't try to interrupt him,
'cause he's never gonna stop
And the time is standing still
With all this time to kill
And i'm trying to walk away
From 1st avenue to a

On the drag, on the drag
It's a genuine disaster
And we've crowned him with his crown
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back
On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting 'round for something
And it's never coming back

On the drag, on the drag
We're all waiting for disaster
And we crowned him with his crown
On the drag
