Lyrics

I have a few favorite songs that are all by the same artist. here's a taste

Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles
Cats killing dogs, pigs eating rats
Every mouth will eat you up the king bug laughs
Belly of the heart, belly full of bats
The chromosomes seem not to want the fetus

They beat you up
They make you leave
Sticking needles in your knees
Knowing God will be pleased
Should make it easy

Snakes eating frogs, toads eating gnats
When the space ship beams you up boy, get drunk fast
Rubber bullet barn, titty suckin' calf
Goats and roosters, bees and bugs, amoebas

They blow you up, make it breath
Make it feel like a disease
Though it's hard to believe it makes it easy

A Spoonful Weighs a Ton
And though they were sad they rescued everyone
They lifted up the sun
A spoonful weighs a ton
Giving more than they had
The process had begun
A million came from one
The limits now were none
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun
Forcing it off with their hands
The trap door came undone
Above our heads it swung
The privilege had been won
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun
Yelling as hard as they can
The doubters all were stunned
Heard louder than a gun
The sound they made was love

Songs by The Flaming Lips
