Lyrics
Blue is just another word for blue
Green is just a thing we used to do
Yellow is a feather, gray is feather weather
Faith is a career in outer space
Hope is a veneer of fretless bass
Love is a suggestion; please repeat the question, buddy
Sitting on a porch is getting old
Sitting on a board is minting gold
Sitting on a fork hurts
Sitting on a big black horse is beautiful, beautiful
Mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa
Cueto, cueto, cueto [Repeat]
Meet the chairman, he's making you laugh
But he'll torture you slowly for a year and a half
Gaily setting ablaze everything that's dear
In one other, and out the ear
Now the cliff around which your fingers curl
Disintegrates to sludge at the end of the world
As you're falling from grease, steam sucking your breath
Maybe you'll be rescued by the corporate jet
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa
Cueto, cueto, cueto [Repeat]
Hey, poppet, you shouldn't complain
When you're swimming in the lava under acid rain
When the hailstones hit, it might sting a bit
But pestilence brings a certain clarity, doesn't it?
Sure, it's hard to endure
And you only really know three things for sure:
There is no sanctuary, is no spoon
There is no Dana, only Zuul
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Lovey, up in the pool - it's never enough
Lovey, up in the pool - she's saving up for
Hubby, up in the pool - it's never enough
Lovey, up in the pool - she's saving up for the...
Mandibular fossa (up in the pool)
Mandibular fossa (it's never enough)
Mandibular fossa (up in the pool)
Cueto, cueto, cueto (she's saving up for the...) [Repeat]
Mandibular fossa
Pocket parks are wearing trousers out
Telmarines are marmots filled with doubt
Pepper is a macro
Leather makes a big black hat grow
beautiful, beautiful
Mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa
(Beautiful, beautiful)
Cueto, cueto, cueto (There is no Dana, only Zuul)
Mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa, mandibular fossa
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
Cueto, cueto, cueto
(There's no basement in the Alamo)
There's bees!
Spring is when a young man's fancy turns
Autumn is a leaf that boasts and burns
Winter is a pixie
Summer is asphyxiating
Armor is a suit that doesn't fold
Ardor is a dish that's best served cold
Bedlam is impending
Everything is ending
