the pro is here to lead the way, to save the day
(wicked little critter)
He clips the puck from bobby orr, he shoots he scores
(wicked little critter)
As he proceeds to torch the place, as he proceeds to scorch the place
As he proceeds to torch the place, scorcher, torcher, scorcher
(wicked little critter)

He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar

And he pops a wheelie on his minibike
And he burns rubber, and he peels out
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar

And he clips the ball from havlicek
And havlicek is used and abused
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar

He decides to ditch, and he ditches
And nobody knows where he ditched
He's a wicked little critter with a sissy bar
And he lays a patch on the tar

It's a wicked little guy
Wicked pissa little guy
Wicked scorcher little critta
He's a wicked little guy

He's a dink
Way to go
I like him
I got problems

Hiya, hiya, hiya, hi

Don't be so jaded
I'm quite sincere
Though we may differ

You'll be right here
Top of the heap
Kings of all we survey

The last thing's a clinker
Who says it's not?
Just try your best

It's all that we've got
It's all that we've got
It's all that we've got

Hiya
Hiya, hi
Hiya
Hiya, hi
Hiya
Hiya, hi
Hiya
Hiya, hi

Don't have to be
Your only one
Don't have to be
Something from now on
Don't have to be
What i want at all

Just have to be
Unforgotten

I know your new boyfriend
And you belong with him
The truth is my one regret
The truth is my one regret

Just have to be
Unforgotten
Just have to be
Unforgotten

Don't have to know
What i'm thinking now
Don't have to know
Better days than these
Don't have to know
Where i've been so long

Just have to be
Unforgotten

I know you're leaving now
If i had figured out

Just how to be
Unforgotten
Just how to be
Unforgotten

Yes, you can scare a person by confusing his mind
Let's start one step at a time

Yes, you can scare a person by confusing his mind

Always remember, there are two diseases in any business

Well, jeepers, we've got two or three children
Well, jeepers, we've got two or three children

There's no need for confusing the mind
Or... or or filling up the mind with those little things that that

now i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now

I should have my head examined
They'll see when they look inside
I won't have to say a word
I'll stop thinking what i shouldn't be thinking
I'll make everyone believe me

Can't you see i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now
You'll think it's a lie

Couldn't we just put away the ancient history
Throw up our hands at the unsolved mysteries

I'm going to have my head examined
I'll prove you were wrong about me
Move the needle telepathically
I'll turn everything around and confuse you
Talk faster and faster till i lose you
I'll fix it so you can't remember what was true
And there'll be nothing to remind you

Starting now i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now

Now i'm telling the truth
I'm finished with lies, lies
If you don't believe me now
You'll never believe me now

Lies, lies
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie
You'll think it's a lie

The token back to brooklyn fell between the grating
And we're just watching it sinking
The fare went up to one hundred dollars
And we can never go home again
The bill collector's drinking lighter fluid
And says he'll tell our parents
Our feet start running at a furious pace
But we can't get away



Notes

The dial-a-song demo version (sometimes called "get away"):

Get away
Get away

The token back to brooklyn fell between the grating
And we're just watching it sinking
The fare went up to one hundred dollars
And we can never go home again
The fare collector's drinking lighter fluid
And claims he killed our parents
Our feet start running at a furious pace
But we can't get away

There's a new song every hour
On they might be giants dial-a-song
So call back in an hour
After you hear this next song

And your call is next!

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

Every two hours there's a different song
Perhaps there's a reason it takes that long
I don't know why it takes that long
For they might be giants dial-a-song

And your call is next!

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

Somebody's been
Brainwashin' our fighting boys
Somebody's been
Deprogramming them so they won't fight anymore

They're searching for the missing chimp
But they won't find him
The missing chimp is sewing gimp with me
He won't fight because

Somebody's been
Brainwashin' our fighting boys
Somebody's been
Deprogramming them so they won't fight anymore

They're safe and sound
With its arms akimbo
Little legs are danglin'
In the pond, its big toe

Brainwashin' our fighting boys
Somebody's been
Deprogramming them so they won't fight anymore

They've been forced to live
In a land of love
Forced to live
In a land of love

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

Up the driveway, down the walk
Oh, janet's hair is like her mom's
Who's got her own, but acts like something's
Different from the eyebrows up

Seems like only yesterday
Our d-i-v-o-r-c-e
I love you both and yuletide is pure
H-e-double-l for me

And we just go nuts at christmastime
That's when everything falls apart
We just go nuts at christmastime
But it's another year before we're together again

Hi, this is john of they might be giants
As you're driving down the highway at 100 miles an hour with your head wagging out the window,
We urge you, please, put down the phone

We just go nuts at christmastime
That's when everything falls apart
We just go nuts at christmastime
But it's another year before we're together

Again

Moths beat on the windowpane
Telling me i'm not the same
Sounds of nothing, sounds of fear
Speak to me when no one's near

I'm on rat patrol
I'm on rat patrol

Well, those disappear inside
Floorboards creak and footsteps heard
Headlights turn into the drive
Then disappear into the night

I'm on rat patrol
I'm on rat patrol

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

Relaxing on my* hands and knees
Relaxing on my* face
Reclining in the bear-trap of its tender warm embrace
Glazed with coniferous green
Glazed with excitement and dread
Exhausted from oversleep
Awake but still in bed

The shaving razor's rusty but the sting brings you exactly back to
Maine
Is** the world that went south
Maine
Is** a punch in the mouth
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine
Is the devil you know
Maine
Is the heaven below
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart

I love you anyway (i love you anyway)
I promise there's no other state (there's no other state)
But only if you stay away (but only if you leave)
And leave me to my ugly state*** (me to my ugly state)

And give me back my evil heart so i can see you as you are in
Maine
Is the world that went south
Maine
Is a punch in the mouth
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine
Is the poison you love
Maine
Is the hell from above
Maine
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart

Oregon is bad
Stop it if you can
Here it comes
Here it comes
Now it's after you
Flee to someplace new
Run away
Run away

From the penthouse to the prison
To the humble pied

now every evening, all my day's work is through
I call my baby and ask her what we could do
.... she doesn't seem to dig that
And then she asks me why don't i come to her flat
And have some supper and let the evening pass by
Playing records, the sounds of groovy hi-fi
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah

My baby loves me, she gets me feelin so fine
And when she loves me, she lets me know that she's mine
And when she kisses, i feel the fire get hot
She never misses, she gives it all that she's got
And when she asks me if everything is ok
I give the answer, the only thing i could say
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah

We'll play a melody and turn the lights down low so noone can see
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
And there'd be noone else alive in all the world except for you and me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

And pretty baby, i never knew such a thrill
It's hard to tell you, because i'm trembling still
No need to ask me if everything is ok
I've got my answer, the only thing i can say
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah

We'll play a melody and turn the lights down low so noone can see
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
And there'd be noone else alive in all the world except for you and me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

And pretty baby, i never knew such a thrill
It's hard to tell you, because i'm trembling still
But pretty baby, i want you all for my own
I think i'm ready to leave these others alone
No need to ask me if everything is ok
I've got my answer, the only thing i can say
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah
I say yeah, that's what i say, i say yeah

they fixed up the corner store like it was a night club
It's permanently disco
Everyone is dressed so oddly i can't recognize them
I can't tell the staff from the customers

Baby check this out, i've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and i can think again
I'll remember what it was

You have to carry all your things
You can't misplace them
There's nowhere to place anything

Baby check this out, i've got someting to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and i can think again
I'll remember what it was

They're all shouting something at us, waving and pointing
They revamped the airport completely now it looks just like a night club
Everyone's excited and confused

Baby check this out, i've got someting to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they start the love machine and i can love again
I'll remember what it was

Baby check this out, i've got someting to say
Man, it's so loud in here
Man, it's so loud in here
Man, it's so loud in here
Man, it's so loud in here

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

Long ago, in a bucket of mud
There was a newborn cell that was hungry for blood
It was conflicted by two contrary hearts
And it divided into constituent parts

Then they conflicted some more
Then the two became four
Then there were eight on the scene
And the little one screamed

I am the king of wingo
The king of wingo
Yes, i'm the king of wingo
The king of wingo
I am the king of wingo
The king of wingo
Yes, i'm the king of wingo
The king of wingo

I run the mud
I get the blood
I have the hearts
I am the parts
I run the mud

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

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

Salutations paint his karma, bend joints in fighting words
Got his mean streak from his mother, ha ha ha
Now love boats paint his liver, with eyes on the city lights
Collapsin' on the upbeats or relaxin' for the night
He steps into a crazy hotel, the desk clerk hands him soap-on-a-rope
What does he mean by this?
Bellhop takes his flashlight, takes john up to his room
Va-va-va-voom this is a sweet life, anthrax on the couch

We're here to entertain you, or have you seen this episode
We're the ancient order of robot dolls, we're putting you at the controls

Well, well, well welcome to hell hotel
Well, well, well welcome to hell hotel

Sports cars and the gamblin', john's winning every night
Well there's certain smells john can't repel, but momma it can't be right
He bolts awake laughing, but no one's in his room
And the big boss man doesn't understand why john can't smile no more

We're here to make you happy, that's all that we are programmed for
But you say this pleasure's a pain for you
Sebastian c. could tell you more

Well, well, well welcome to hell hotel
Well, well, well welcome to hell hotel

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

Half the boy and nothing else
Put me in the driver's seat
I wanna make promises i can't keep
Half the boy and nothing else
You were once my sole desire
You could've built me up, but you made me lie to you
You never took me serious
And my heart betrayed my every word
Now love's not only for the curious
You said the writing's on the wall
Well, i should know 'cause i wrote it all

Half the boy and nothing else
Put me in that driver's seat
I wanna make promises i can't keep
Half the boy and nothing else
I wish that i could land in jail
I wish that you could set my bail for me
You always took me serious
And my heart conveyed my every word
Now love is only for the curious
I said the writing's on the wall
But you should know 'cause you wrote it all

Half the boy and nothing else
Put me in the driver's seat
I wanna make promises i can't keep

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?

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

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'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

As your body floats down third street
With the burn-smell factory closing up
Yes it's sad to say you will romanticize
All the things you've known before
It was not not not so great
It was not not not so great
And as you take a bath in that beaten path
There's a pounding at the door
Well it's a mighty zombie talking of some love and posterity
He says "the good old days never say good-bye
If you keep this in your mind:
You need some lo-lo-loving arms
You need some lo-lo-loving arms"
And as you fall from grace the only words you say are

Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head

Ads up in the subway are the work of someone
Trying to please their boss
And though the guy's a pig we all know what he wants
Is just to please somebody else
If the pu-pu-puppet head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
It would be a better thing for everyone involved
And we wouldn't have to cry

Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head

Memo to myself: do the dumb things i gotta do
Touch the puppet head

Quit my job down at the carwash
Didn't have to write no-one a good-bye note
That said, "the check's in the mail, and
I'll see you in church, and don't you ever change"
If the pu-pu-puppet head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
I'll see you after school

Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head

Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head

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

I'm a wigged-out daddy with bread on top
I dig an easy-bake granny with a whiskey mop
If you love me, you needn't the whole wheat crop
'cause they had a useless battle and'll never stop

Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
You're drivin' all my hope away

I'm a pumpernickel-do for you, dough you do
Use a yarmulka of hallah bread if you're a jew
I belong to cayope*, i be the wheat for you
Yeast and flour, bake an hour, it's annoying shampoo

Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Drivin' all my hope away

Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
Bread hair, oh boy, oh boy
You're drivin' all my hope away

That's a gone rug, buddy

i taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind

I'm sick like chuckie was sick, my defeated heart keeps beating on
I won't die, like chuckie won't die, but i'm not here to socialize
Gotta find a new place to hang out, because i'm tired of living in hell

I'm a mess since you cut me out but chuckie's arm keeps me company
I'm a fright with my tombstone smile
All the children run away from me
Gotta find new friends to hang with because you're all afraid of me

I taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind

It was sweet like lead paint is sweet but the after effects left me paralyzed
I just stare with my one glass eye hoping you won't be back again
There's a whole new generation waiting to be wrecked by you

I taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind

I taught you how to cyclops rock
And then you go and turn around and break my heart
And waste my cyclops time and mess up my cyclops mind

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
