"Zebra" lyrics
"Zebra"
So we got married in Venice in June, so what?
We circled the earth in a hot air balloon, so what?
And the rest of our lives
Is one long honeymoon
Well, that doesn't mean we're in love
If you really loved me
You'd buy me a beautiful pearl
But you've already bought me
All of the pearls in the world
So there's one thing I crave
When my days become ho-hum and blah
I want a zebra
We've got so many tchotchkes
We've practically emptied the Louvre
In most of our palaces
There's hardly room to maneuver
Well I shan't go to Bali today
I must stay home and Hoover
Up the gold dust
That doesn't mean we're in love
If you really loved me
You'd buy me the Great Pyramid
Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did
But there's one thing I need
If you won't think I'm greedy, my dear
Another zebra
Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra

They have the time of their lives

And when I hall...

Colors seem darker in light
And I don't know what that means
But it's not a good sign

Guided By Voices - "A Big Fan Of The Pigpen" Oh, to speak on one's feet
To beat on one's brain
The popular mechanics are at it again
A tenement filled with side-show freaks
Assembled to downgrade
An impeccable arrangement
By the soft-rock...
Broadcast - "Colour Me In" I am grey, still on the page
Oh, colour me in
Just an outline, sketchy but fine
Oh, colour me in
If green is chasing the hills over miles
If blue is pursuing the sky
See if the red of your heart...
