Absolutely positively quiet time
Place them in a box until a quieter time
All my friends could not to offend.
On the fence but not to offend.
All these cars end up on the sidewalk
All these cars, and up on the sidewalk
All trees cars, bend up on the sidewalk
All these cars, end up on the sidewalk
And remembers the eight ball.
And remembers being small.
Blame there in me box um to me quieter time
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Driving along this highway
All these cars end up on the sidewalk
Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
Face them in me
Positively why you cryin'
Light's down, you up & die
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Goes to visit Jemima
Goes to visit his mommy
He forgets them and remembers being swallowed.
He forgets them and remembers being small.
He wakes up in the morning,
Does his teeth right to eat on these Rolaids.
He wakes up in the morning,
Does his teeth, bite to eat, and he's rolling.
He wakes up in the morning,
Does his teeth, bite to eat on these Rolaids
He wakes up in the morning,
Does his teeth, bite to eat, and he's rolling
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, back to Eden, he's rolling.
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat, and he's rolling.
Kafka, Kafka
Cut, cut, cut, cut
Lights down, your appetite
Lights down, you up and die
Never changes to think
Never changes a thing
Place them in a box until he quiets the time
Life stand you up and die.
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die.
Place them in a box until he quiets the time
Lights down, you up and die.
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die.
Play some biddly, bop some tiddly
Place them in a box until a
Red an black and then they're waving.
Red and black antennae waving
Red and Black and ten are waving.
Red and Black Antenna waving.
Red and black and tender gravy
Red and black antennae waving
Red and black artillery
Red and black antennae waving
