They Might Be Giants - 2082 - lyrics

Draw the curtain, look, you're only sleeping
Or is this only what the
Other you is dreaming?
Either way hard to take
Ashen features unmistakably your own
Familiar posture, recast in skin and bone
Person from today
Here is you in 2082
Remove your helmet
First equalize the pressure
No, but first take readings to be sure
The atmosphere is safe, yes, it's safe
As the ancient one
Cranes his neck to look
You see his hand's been replaced with a hook
But it's clear you're very much alive, it's 2105
No, it's 2240
No, it's 3415
How can you still be living?
What does this mean?
You must honor and respect the older fellow
Even as you suffocate
Him with his pillow
Though you're strong, he was wise
There is much you can learn from the sage
And though you'll leave
And travel back to your own age
You will meet again, you two in 2082
What was the look
He have intended to convey?
Was there something else he was trying to say?
It will all be revealed to you in 2082

They Might Be Giants - 25 O'clock - lyrics

The urge to take you grows more strong
For time had made me wait too long
Each watch I smash apart
Just adding to my power
Each watch I smash apart
Just bringing near the hour
Of 25 oclock, thats when youre going to be mine
25 oclock, well be together til the end of time
At 25 oclock
The ticking seconds hear them call
My spell of hours will make you fall
Each timer that I break
Will halt the flowing sands
Each timer that I break
Will put you in my hands
At 25 oclock, thats when youre going to be mine
25 oclock, well be together til the end of time
At 25 oclock
Each watch I smash apart
Just adding to my power
Each watch I smash apart
Just bringing near the hour
Of 25 oclock, thats when youre going to be mine
25 oclock, well be together til the end of time
Of 25 oclock, thats when youre going to be mine
25 oclock, well be together til the end of time
til the end of time
til the end
til the end of time

They Might Be Giants - 32 Footsteps - lyrics

32 footsteps leading to the room where the paint doesnt want to dry
32 footsteps running down the road where the dirt reaches the sky
32 feathers in my brand-new indian headdress
32 new moons shining in 32 skies
Whats the reason, whyd she go
Wheres my baby, I dont know
32 footsteps, counted them myself, 32 footsteps
Bing bang bingalong, cing cang cingalong, ding dang dingalong day
Fing fang fingalong, ging gang gingalong, hing hang hingalong hay
Jing jang jingalong, king kang kingalong, ling lang lingalong lay
Ming mang mingalong, ning nang ningalong, ping pang pingalong pay
Whats the reason, whyd she go
Wheres my baby, I dont know
32 footsteps, counted them myself, 32 footsteps
32 lies my ears never saw when the floorboards gave way
32 walls come tumbling down and the night turns to day
32 infantrymen running in place
32 boxcars, all of them have your face
Whats the reason, whyd she leave
Dont you know were on the eve of
32 footsteps, counted them myself, 32 footsteps
(no) 28
(no) 29
(no) 30
31

They Might Be Giants - A Shooting Star Is Not A Star - lyrics

A shooting star is not a star
Is not a star at all
A shooting star's a meteor
That's heading for a fall
A shooting star is not a star
Why does it shine so bright?
The friction as it falls through air
Produces heat and light
A shooting star or meteor
Whichever name you like
The minute it comes down to Earth
It's called a meteorite

They Might Be Giants - (She Was A) Hotel Detective - lyrics

She's got her ear to the walls
And she's tapping the calls
If you've got a secret, boy, forget about it
Because she's a hotel detective
Why don't you check her out
Well, the bellhop is funky
The dumbwaiter's a monkey
If there's a knock on the door, boy, forget about it
She says she likes my face
She says she owns the place
Forget about it
Come on and swing with me
>From the top of a tree
And make me feel like a bee
That's where I want to know you

They Might Be Giants - About Me - lyrics

You might be thinking that youre free
You might be sailing cross the sea
You might be staring at the stars,
But youll be thinking
About me.
Me

They Might Be Giants - Aka Driver - lyrics

Its just a full days drive away

We cant fly like birds in the air
We could walk but wed never get there
Its just a full days drive away

Big hands on 120
Little hands on e
Hey nyquil driver
Its nyquil driving time

Get outta my lane
Get outta my way

They Might Be Giants - Absolutely Bill's Mood - lyrics

I was born in a lighthouse, my mother was the sea
I crawled to school each morning, when it occured to me
That lifes just a mood ring were not allowed to see
And this is what it said to me
My room is comfortably small
With rubber lining the walls
And theres someone always calling my name
He calls when Im alone
And he calls when Im not home
And he calls when Im stuck out in the rain
Im insane
Im insane
Im insane
Im insane
Now listen all you swingers, dont you try to tag along
I know monkey see, but monkeys dead, for you it would be wrong
Put a dime in my jukebox, youll only hear this song
And it wont be fun for long
Because my room is comfortably small
With rubber lining the walls
And theres someone always calling my name
He calls when Im alone
And he calls when Im not home
And he calls when Im stuck out in the rain
Im insane
Im insane
Im insane
Im insane
Thank you
Thank you
My room is comfortably small
With rubber lining the walls
And theres someone always calling my name
He calls when Im alone
And he calls when Im not home
And he calls when Im stuck out in the rain
Im insane
Im insane
Im insane
Im insane

They Might Be Giants - 9 Secret Steps - lyrics

Throw away the thing that tells you
Not to throw the thing away
You'll forget to rue the day
You went ahead and threw the thing away
Nine secret steps
To the key to the door that you'll
Throw in the well and let go
Of all your thwarted dreams
And visions of success
Amputate the thought that says
You shouldn't ever amputate a thought
You'll be overwrought until
You go ahead and amputate the thought
Nine secret steps
To unlock the potential
To forgo the knowledge
Of what can be attained as long
As nothing's ever gained
I can't tell you what's in secret step five
You will know when you're no longer alive
Inhume your gloom within a tomb
Confine your mind behind a line
There's only doom outside your room
Confine your mind behind a line
Nine secret steps
To the key to the door that you'll
Throw in the well and let go
Of all your thwarted dreams
Let go of all your thwarted dreams
Let go of all your thwarted dreams
Of all your thwarted dreams
