Sweetbreads |
| When I was a little boy I threw away my action toys |
| I became obsessed with operation |
| With Hearts and minds and certain glands |
| You learn to keep a steady hand |
| And thus began a morbid fascination with… |
| Sweetbreads, I could taste what you were thinking |
| Sweetbreads, that’s the taste of neurons thinking |
| Do you wonder where the self resides |
| Is it in your head or between your sides |
| And who’s going to decide its true location? |
| Cause it’s a question for the centuries |
| From communion to mad cow disease |
| But is it worthy of a song — all life’s location? |
| Oh and the sweetest sweetbread of them all within the kingdom of afar |
| Call them thoughts and metaphor-inations |
| They call them |
| Sweetbreads, I could taste what you were thinking |
| Sweetbreads, that’s the taste of neurons thinking |
| Does the thought of bowels red and black |
| The thought of tongues that taste you back fill you with a nauseous elation |
| Where a simple trip to the grocery store could fill you with an abject horror |
| Can you taste the misery of those crustaceans? |
| Oh and the sweetest sweetbread of them all |
| Within the kingdom of afar should’ve caused some silent machinations |
| They call them |
| Sweetbreads, I could taste what you were thinking |
| Sweetbreads, that’s the taste of neurons thinking |
| Aw, I could taste what you were thinking |
| Oh, give me your thoughts about sweetbread |
