I've been running circles like a madman All the gerbils chirping in their cages After hours at the pet supply store Jealous of the shapes that I've been making And I'm wrong to be wondering And I'm wrong. All the tanks alive with dancing goldfish Snakes and lizards diving in their food dish All the crickets safe within their egg crates Ignorant of their last hour. And I'm wrong to be wondering. And I'm wrong. In aisles the bunny's doing backflips Birds are cracking fluffing up their plumage All the hamsters chewing on their woodchips Alley cats all meowing at the moon. And I'm wrong to be wondering. And I'm wrong. And I'm wrong to be wondering. And I'm wrong. Isn't it a pity life is short? Isn't it a shame we're all just animals? Isn't it unfortunate that I was born uncertain of that feeling that you give me? Won't you give it to me more? In the future when the ozone layer Gives in to the weight of procreation, All the spaces that our bodies take up Have returned again to something weightless. And I'll be wrong to be wondering. I'll be wrong. I'll be wrong to be wondering. I'll be wrong.
