Lyrics Carla's Tarantulas - 16Volt

Carla's Tarantulas

Carla: So I had a little brunch, lunch
Eric: Had a few cocktails?
Carla: Everything, everything
You know
Eric: Yeah
Carla: No not today 'cause they were a little green by georgetown so we didn’t
risk it
You have to put them in the oven to ripen
And then when you want the pomegranates and all that other stuff that we bought
presidiums
You have to put bananas by your vegetables for your fruits to ripen 'cause
there’s a gas that comes off
Eric: Goes off?
it explodes?
Carla: Goes off the bananas but it actually speeds the ripening process so you
know you don’t know produce
Eric: Well, the life cycle of a banana, yeah I mean
Carla: You know, you can um get high off the skins, did you ever try that?
Eric: Really?
you smoke the skins?
Carla: Yeah, I think my brother tried that, no, I’m kidding
Eric: I never smoked the skins before
Carla: No no, it wasn’t him but it still the uh, what you have to do is you
there is a oil in the skins or something that if you burn it
No
You know what that was?
You know that banana skins are poisonous?
Eric: Yeah, might be
Carla: You know why?
Cause the tarantulas
Eric: Tarantulas?
Carla: They do, the tarantulas
Eric: From Mexico?
Carla: Dude don’t you guys read national geographic around here?
Eric: Yeah, I used to see the nice pictures of naked black women
Carla: Uganda, you got it
So anyway, um I had a uganda party over the other day they, still don’t know
how to put their clothes on
They don’t even have zippers nowadays
Eric: Whos that?
the tarantulas?
Carla: No, they use banana skins
So anyway, uh they’re slippery, you know so don’t ever leave banana peels out
because you could slide, like in the air, double toe loop
I just watched ice skating, you guys are psychotic you have like,
no idea what’s going on in reality
Eric: I have no clue what’s going on in ice skating
Carla: You do too
Eric: Ice skating?
Carla: You have to go home you know, all the mexicans, puerto ricans, blacks,
everybody out on the streets right now, I had to go through the heart of
little Mexico, little puerto rico, little honduras, everything today
Eric: How’d you like it?
Carla: I ruled
Eric: You ruled all over the puerto ricans and mexicans?
Carla: Everybody
Eric: That’s a nice thing
