Another day, another song stuck in my brain
I been sick. So when I was young it seemed that whenever I got sick stupid persistent thoughts got in my head and stayed there until I got better. Now it's a little different. Now whenever I'm sick I remember being hung over and I get this knee-jerk response of feeling guilty. That was how hangovers used to go for me, beating up on myself for the duration of the hangover followed by a lot of drinking to quiet the voices. Anyway, this song is another by They Might Be Giants and it's been in my head all morning:
Bee Of The Bird Of The Moth
By: They Might Be Giants
Everyone is crying at the dread hypnotic flying
Of the bee of the bird of the moth
You can't walk, you can't ramble 'cause you're gonna have to scramble
From the bee of the bird of the moth
Catbug is a cat, but he's got bugness in his veins
Manhouse lives within himself with thoughtful human brains
Neither one is equal to the challenge of the freak we'll call
The bee of the bird of the moth
Now the moth defeats the mouse and man
It's messing with the plan, it can't be believed
'Cause it's just a hummingbird moth
Who's acting like a bird that thinks it's a bee
Got a brand new shipment of electrical equipment
It's addressed to the bottom of the sea
Send a tangerine-colored nuclear submarine
With a sticker that says STP
Windshield-wiper washer fluid spraying in the air
Head lice under hats lie in the headlights everywhere
Subatomic waves to the underwater caves
Of the bee of the bird of the moth
And the moth defeats the mouse and man
It's messing with the plan, it can't be believed
'Cause it's just a hummingbird moth
Who's acting like a bird that thinks it's a bee
Is it us or it that's messed up?
Everyone's deforming in the presence of the swarming
Of the bee of the bird of the moth
Protozoa, snakes, and horses have enlisted in the forces
Of the bee of the bird of the moth
All are irresistibly directed by the suction
Of a hypnotizing tractor beam presenting a production
Of the sleep of reason corporation in association
With the bee of the bird of the moth
