Building The Perfect Beast |
| The power of reason, the top of the heap |
| We’re the ones who can kill the things we don’t eat |
| Sharper than a serpent’s tongue |
| Tighter than a bongo drum |
| Quicker than a one-night stand |
| Slicker than a mambo band |
| And now the day is come |
| Soon he will be released |
| Glory hallelujah! |
| We’re building the Perfect Beast |
| (Building, building, etc.) |
| It’s Olympus this time — POOlympus or bust |
| For we have met the enemy — and he is us |
| And now the day is come |
| Soon he will be released |
| Glory hallelujah! |
| We’re building the Perfect Beast |
| (Building, building) |
| Ever since we crawled out of the ocean and stood upright on land |
| There are some things that we just don’t understand: |
| Relieve all pain and suffering and lift us out of the dark |
| Turn us all into Methuselah- |
| But where are we gonna park? |
| (Building, building) |
| The secrets of eternity- |
| We’ve found the lock and turned the key |
| We’re shakin' up those building blocks |
| Going deeper into that box-(Pandora wouldn’t like it) |
| And now the day is come |
| Soon he will be released |
| Glory hallelujah! |
| We’re building the Perfect Beast |
| (Building, building) |
| All the way to Malibu from the Land of the Talking Drum- |
| Just look how far — look how far we’ve come |
