lyrics

Everyone will benefit from safe behavior and compliance

There are people walking round who look like birds
They have chosen wildly inappropriate clothes
& they always seem to move against the current
I watch them struggling away from the exit signs

It’s closed but they don’t know it
It‘s shut but they don’t even care
They start waving to a man dressed as a dog
Who wishes that he really wasn’t there

Bring me my fantasy with garbage
Give up the fairytale with fries
Raise the universal Flag of Triumph
The rubber duck of death won’t be denied

Feel like I’m going to explode
Feel like I might be about to die
Now I’m falling from great heights
To wait in line for another ride

I am waving to the man dressed as a dog
Who’s still wishing that he wasn’t really here
But he’s still warm inside his furry cartoon suit
It protects him from that chilly evening air
