Pencil Rain - They Might Be Giants

Oh, but I know You want something to play with, baby. I'll be around when he's not in town I'll show you how you're doing it wrong I really love it when you tell me to stop. Oh, it's turning me on. Now, you can tell me some lies About the good times that you've had But I've kissed your mother twice And now I'm working on your dad. Oh baby I'll be around when he's not in town I'll show you how you're doing it wrong I really love it when you tell me to stop. Oh, it's turning me on. If you look under the bed Then I can see my house from here So just lie against the wall And watch my conscience disappear now baby Oh, I'll be around when he's not in town Oh yeah, I'll show you how you're doing it wrong I really love it when you tell me to stop. Oh, it's turning me on, yeah I only come here 'Cause I know it makes you sad I only do it 'Cause I know you know it's bad. Oh, don't you know? It's awkward And it shouldn't be like that Oh but, oh it's turning me on

I've got a sheet for my bed And a pillow for my head I've got a pencil full of lead And some water for my throat I've got buttons for my coat And sails on my boat So much more than I needed before I got money in the meter and a two bar heater Now it's getting hotter Oh it's only getting sweeter I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair Pot and a pan And some shoes on my feet I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock I got food in my belly and a license for my telly And nothing's gonna bring me down Nothing's gonna bring me down I got a nice guitar and tyres on my car I got most of the means and scripts for the scenes I'm out and about, so I'm in with a shout I got a fair bit of chat but better than that Food in my belly and a license for my telly And nothing's going to bring me down Nothing's gonna bring me down But best of all (best of all) I've got my baby But best of all (best of all) I've got my baby She's mighty fine and says she's all mine And nothing's going to bring me down Best of all (best of all) I've got my baby Best of all (best of all) I've got my baby She's mighty fine and says she's all mine And nothing's going to bring me down She's mighty fine and says she's all mine And nothing's going to bring me down She's mighty fine and says she's all mine And nothing's going to bring me down Not today... no, no

It had been going so well And then I broke my eggshell And entered the world as a brontosaurus Brontosaurus, brontosaurus Here's my entire autobiography, I was Skinny at first, then I got thick, and then back to Being skinny again like a brontosaurus Like a brontosaurus Life was devoid of purpose And so I joined the circus Somehow, they found it easy to ignore us People found it easy to ignore this Brontosaurus, brontosaurus You want to leave an impression You want to express an emotion You crave some attention And for this transgression, you'll be repaid when You fall and you fail and sink into depression It was as dark as Get Out I went and stuck my neck out Wearing an expression of optimism Optimism and bad vision Do you think this tale has gone on for too long? Join the chorus, you can join the chorus Can't cut it as an artist Maybe I'm too sensitive Who would have believed skin could be so porous? Brontosaurus skin can be so porous Brontosaurus, brontosaurus
