They Might Be Giants : The Statue Got Me High
Тексты песен
1. THE STATUE GOT ME HIGH
The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
The statue made me die
The statue made me die
It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky
The stone it called to me
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(An animated mineral it can be heard)
And though I once preferred a human being's company
They pale before the monolith that towers over me
The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
The statue made me fry
The statue made me fry
My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy
The stone it called to me
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(An animated mineral it can be heard)
And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And now it is your turn
(Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn)
The stone it calls to you
(You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)
And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they'll find is just a statue
Standing where the statue got you high
2. SHE'S ACTUAL SIZE
Words fail
Buildings tumble
The ground opens wide
Light beams down from heaven
She stands before my eyes
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
As she drives away
Big men
Often tremble
As they step aside
I thought I was big once
She changed my mind
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me.
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Nationwide, believe
She's got
All the money
Money couldn't buy
She's got something special
That someone left behind
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror but they're actual size
Actual size to her
Her face
Hangs in portrait
On the post office wall
She's stuck in my heart now
Where my blood belongs
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me
I've never known anybody like her, she's actual size
Actual size, believe
3. I'M DEF
Can we do that?
Can we do that?
I'm def
I'm def
I'm def
I'm listening to the radio
Got a job as a test pilot
Yes I got a job as a test pilot
I'm def
I never listen to the
I never listen to
I never listen to the ra-
I'm def
Got a job as a test pilot
Yes I got a job as a test pilot
I'm listening to the radio
We have our own song and we want to get it recorded...
4. WHICH DESCRIBES HOW YOU'RE FEELING
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
Which describes how you're feeling all the
Feeling all the time
There's this guy in the sky and he makes you want to
Want to make you sigh, like the time
When you felt like you're feeling all the time
And you sighed at the cracks in the ceiling all the time
You said "I'm feeling fine" but it didn't really rhyme
It didn't rhyme, overseas
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
It describes how you're feeling
Which describes how you're feeling all the time
When you lie that your life's unappealing all the time
But your lie doesn't rhyme with the word overseas
Overseas there's this guy
Who describes how you're feeling all the time
In his mind he can find how you're feeling all the time
From behind distant lines
Even straighter than his spine
Which is fine
Which is fine
And describes how you're feeling all the time
