A Story (Album Version) 歌詞
(feat. Pierre Henry)
I got a story
A sad sad story
About a girl
Who met a boy
About her mother
Whose vision saw her
Daughter to marry
Another boy (Nooo nooo nooo...)
They made a plan
To get away
To run away
And though it be hard
To make that day
Freely to live
Without the mother
Theyd send a postcard (Nooo nooo nooo...)
Out on the interstate
Thats where they made their mistake
Thats where they met their fate
Out on the interstate
They met a monster
The monster of the interstate
Who will not hesitate
Who eats teenagers
Like a shark eats little fishes
Who eats bad kids disobeying parents wishes
An interloper against the elopers
A troll at the pay toll
They stopped at the toll booth
And reached for a quarter
The monster filled the whole booth
He gave them no quarter 'Dont eat me'
Chirped the girl
Clutching to her purse 'Dont eat me'
Croaked the boy 'Or eat her first Ill turn right around And take her back to her mothers We repent of being out of wedlock lovers' 'You should have thought of that before'
And a scaly horny hand
Ripped the car lock door
And the boy
Tried to drive
But oh boy
He was eaten alive
And the girl
Tried to scream
But she was swirled
In the giants vanilla ice cream
And the boy was yummy
And the girl was yummy
As they slid down the throat
To the monsters yellow tummy
He said: 'Hmm hmm good Didnt do likethey should Hmm hmm good Didnt do like they should'
The mother sold the
Rights to the story
It was so scary
This gory story
They made a movie
A horror movie
The mother made a million
And the producers made a billion 'And that other sweet boy That my daughter has shunned Now Im his wife and hes my husband'
The moral of this story
Is clear for all to see
And if clearly all can see
Then it isnt clear to me
