From the recording Undulating
Lyrics
All the men are wearing skirts
And holding hands as they walk through the street
And then they kiss each other on the cheek
Or even the lips
And the president trips
In his high heeled shoes
Just before breaking the news
Stay inside and lock your doors
All cultural norms are under attack
You better watch your back
Red code alert
The people are beginning to assert
Their opinions of what’s right and wrong
And what is just plain stupid
Let’s examine a raindrop from the eyes of an ant
Will it crush me if I just stand still?
Yes that’s a non-sequitor
For once let’s not read into it too deeply
Maybe just experience it completely
I just want to empty myself
So that I can sing
And hear it echo from the high-vaulted ceiling of my heart
I’m such a zebra
Stripes of light and dark on my fur
But inside is where
That’s where the good stuff resides
I’m a zebra
Stripes of light and dark on my fur
But inside there’s a jiggling jar
Of deep red water
Grab your bubble at the gate
And out you go to the carnival show
One monkey in particular raised by a pack
Of bubbles who think that it’s best to sink
Everything in a bath filled with oil and wrath
Oh sit back and watch it go
The human show is under attack
We better get the sack
Red code alert
The monkey is beginning to invert
All the laws of what is right and wrong
And what is just plain stupid
