Little salamander, where did you go? The edge of the yard I found you, you know All brown and hard I can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body I can't get your body out of my mind Can't get your body She goes smooth through my body, yep Through my body, she goes smooth She goes smooth through my body, yep Through my body, she goes smooth Little killer froggy, where did you hop? Under the entertainment center Realize you just couldn't stop The worms found a hole in your booty they could enter And I can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body I can't get your body out of my mind Can't get your body You go smooth through my body, yep Through my body, you go smooth You go smooth through my body, yep Through my body, you go smooth Hey little lizard, where did you slink? Left your cage door open Under the basement sink The drippin' water made your moldy body eyes open And I can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body I can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body Can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body Can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body Can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body Can't get your body out of my mind I can't get your body

I was standing quiet alone in a crowded disco When a man I did not know showed me the door And told me I had to go Well that kind of humiliation never happens on farm That's why city living does the pysche such harm And I said Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick you won't want more Saving sanity is no trick when your livin' outdoors Well it did not take me long to realise my mistake When garbage trucks messed up my dreams I knew my dreams were fake Don't know how people gonna live like this Pigeons might enjoy it but I cant live in this mess and I said Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick you can't chew and talk Saving sanity is no trick when your livin' in a room the size of a shoebox So finally all the wires and plastic got to me Ideas and realisations were passing right through me I did not take a train a plane or bus with wings Man wasn't meant to fly Besides walking does the same thing: gets me outta here Fire escapes don't work until theres a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Oce you taste a brick you won't want more Saving sanity is a trick when you livin' on someone elses floor Hi, wazzup, how you doing, its good to see ya What's your name again, I cant remember Times up gotta go
