"Metal Detector"

"Metal Detector"


Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing
There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknown

And I've got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine

Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening
But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea
Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground

Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)
Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)
Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll)

For I've got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine

Look past the volleyball (look past the ball)
Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull)
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector
Is with me all of the time

I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector, watch it shine

Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball)
Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull)
Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time)

"Miniature Sidewalk Whirlwind"

"Miniature Sidewalk Whirlwind"


Trying to avoid
Being hit in the leg
By the bag that is going
Around and around
In the miniature sidewalk whirlwind

But the crumpled-up bag
Moves exactly as fast
As the speed at which you walk
To avoid being hit in the leg

Aaaah
To the amusement of others
You are hit in the leg
By the bag
And as soon as it touches your leg
It's completely attached

Trying to pull off the bag while still casually walking
Only increases the merriment
So at first you consider violence against the onlookers
But then on second thought
Maybe the bag

La la-la
La-la la-la
La-la la-la
La-la la-la la

Buppah-ba ba-ba
Buppah-ba ba-ba
Buppah-ba ba-ba ba
Ba ba ba buppah buppah ba ba
Buppah buppah buppah ba
Buppah-buppah-buppah-buppah-buppah ba

But it's made out of some kind
Of stretchy new plastic
That cannot be ripped in half

Sadly you walk on in anger and shame
Not considering the fate of the very next one
Who will try to avoid being hit in the leg
By the bag that is going around and around
In the miniature sidewalk whirlwind

Ever and always
Around the world
Everywhere you go
There will always be those
Who will try to avoid being hit in the leg
By the bag that is going around and around
In the miniature sidewalk whirlwind
Miniature sidewalk whirlwind
Miniature sidewalk whirlwind
Miniature sidewalk whirlwind

"Mink Car"

"Mink Car"


It's knocking off my diamond wig
Knocking me down unto the platinum ground
Woke up in a beautiful dream alone
Alone

I got hit by a mink car
Hit by a mink car driven by a guitar
And the silver chauffer says that it's all in your head
When your 24 carat dead
Dead

In my dream she is reaching past my hollow core
Then her smile is the open sign on an abandoned store

I got hit by a mink car

Hit by a mink car driven by a guitar and the silver chauffer says that it's all
In your head
When your 24 carat dead
Dead
Dead

"Minneapolis (First Avenue Stage)"


Just before we got up here
All the guys were having a fight
Marty was yelling at Danny and John
John threw stuff at Dan
But the anger we felt for each other was kept
In our private backstage world
All our hatred was left behind
When we took command of the First Avenue Stage
Stage
First Avenue Stage
Avenue Stage

"Moles, Hounds, Bears, Bees And Hares"

"Moles, Hounds, Bears, Bees And Hares"


Moles. Moles. Spending their lives down a hole
And when it’s raining they get complaining
And run around out of control
Moles

Hounds. Hounds. Walk with their nose to the ground
The joy in their eyes and
The shock of surprise when
They bring you the thing that they found
Hounds!

Don’t wake up the hibernating bear
He’ll spend all winter there
Asleep

Bees. Bees. Spend most of their time inside hives
But when the breeze knocks the hive off the trees oh
We better run for our lives.
Bees

Hares. Hares. Some call them bunnies—who cares?
Though it sounds phony
Rabbits were coney
Out on this island right hare.
Hares

"Monsters Of Mud"

"Monsters Of Mud"


Monsters of mud
Covered in mud
(Made of mud)
Monsters of mud
(Made of mud)
Monsters of mud (made of mud)
Covered in mud (they're made of mud)
Monsters of mud (made of mud)
Covered in mud (they're made of mud)
Monsters of mud (made of mud) (look at that mud man)
Covered in mud (they're made of mud) (it's disgraceful)
Monsters of mud (made of mud) (check out the dirt pile)
Covered in mud (they're made of mud) (its got a face full)
Monsters of mud (made of mud) (look at that mud man)
Covered in mud (they're made of mud) (It's disgraceful)
Monsters of mud (made of mud) (check out the dirt pile)
Covered in mud (they're made of mud) (its got a face full)

It's unbelievable
They're walking through the streets of town
They act like people but they're
Shapeless, grimy, gray and brown

(Made of mud, they're made of mud)
(Made of mud, they're made of mud)

It used to be that
Everyone you'd see was so well scrubbed
Everything's different now
Ever since the monsters of mud

Monsters of mud
(Made of mud)
Covered in mud
(Made of mud)
Monsters of mud (made of mud)
Covered of mud (they're made of mud)
Monsters of mud (made of mud)
Covered in mud (they're made of mud)

Look out there's one right there
It freaks me out, it's covered in crud
All of our values have been challenged
By the monsters of mud

Here they slime
There they slouch
On the carpet
On my couch

Mud monsters everywhere
You can't escape the slobbering flood
We couldn't stop them so we all became
The monsters of mud

It's unbelievable
We're walking through the streets of town
We act like people but we're
Shapeless, grimy, gray and brown

(Made of mud, we're made of mud)
(Made of mud, we're made of mud)

It used to be that
Everyone you'd see was so well scrubbed
Everything's different now
Ever since the monsters of mud

"Moving To The Sun"

"Moving To The Sun"


While they were staring at the Citgo sign
Is when they lost our trail
They thought we were part of a caravan
But we had other plans

You can't catch me
Where I'm gonna fall
You can't catch me
Where I'll hide
This world's too cold
This Nova rolls
I'm moving to the sun

93 miles times a million more
Quite a trip we've planned
I must drive now carefully (I must drive now)
And figure where we'll land

You can't catch me
Where I'm gonna fall
You can't catch me
Where I'll hide
This world's too cold
So I'm gunna run
I'm moving to the sun
