Lyrics
|
We're so fastidiously pondering
perfidious points of confusion.
We so assidiously toke those
fat, oregano joints of delusion.
It's time we run through the sprinkler.
Take a blast from the hose.
It's bound to be a spine tingler
in our Emperor's New Clothes.
We're so hot diggedy dogging
with those squiggly snails of collusion.
We're so persnickety, tiptoeing
cross their rickety rails of illusion.
Let's punch the clock while it's tickin'.
Tap the sap while it flows.
Lay our eggs like a chicken,
and shed the Emperor's New Clothes.
We're wide-eyed like yolks in the albumen,
hoodwinked in our imaginary cloth,
sun dried like an old beef jerky human,
with sour milk 'neath the froth,
parading past those rubbernecks
unabashedly like David Lee Roth.
We're so voluptously frooging
to the groove of our own exploitation,
We so conspicuously boogie
to behoove some full-blown affectation.
It's time we exit the spaceship,
feel the sand neath our toes,
start embracing the harelip,
and ditch the Emperor's New Clothes.
We're wide-eyed like yolks in the albumen,
hoodwinked in our imaginary cloth,
sun dried like an old beef jerky human,
with sour milk 'neath the froth,
parading past those rubbernecks
unabashedly like David Lee Roth.
