"Andy's Chest" (album _VU_ version)
If I could be anything
in the world that flew
I would be a bat and come
swooping after you
And if the last time you were here
things were a bit askew
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes loose their skins and their hearts
And all the missionaries loose their bark
Oh, all the trees are calling after you
And all the venom snipers after you
Are all the mountains boulder after you
If I could be any one
of the things in this world that bite
Instead of attention or slow on a leash
I'd rather be your kite
Be tied to the end of your string
flying in the air at night
'Cause you know what they say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You have a hairy minded big bare bear
And all the bells are rolling out for you
And all the stones are erupting out for you
And all the cheap luck suckers are flying after you
Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff
were grooving down the street
And just like in a movie
her hands became her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
which meant she tasted what she'd speak
But the funny thing is what happened to her nose
It grew until it reached all of her toes
Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose
And all the curtains laced with diamonds for you
And all the Romeos will be for you
And kingdom's Christian sailors, dear, for you
And melting ice cap mountain tops for you
And knights in flaming silver robes for you
And bats, that with a kiss turn prince for you
Swoop, swoop, bop, bop
Roll, roll, swoop, swoop
Bop, bop, roll, roll

Oh, all the trees are calling after you

If I could be any one of the things

Instead of being a tethered ocelot on a leash
I'd rather be your kite
And be tied to the end of your string
and flying in the air, baby, at night
'Cause you know what they say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You have a hairy minded big bare bear
And all the bells are rolling out for you
And stones are all erupting out for you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you
Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff
were groovin' on the street
And just like in a movie
her hands became her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
which meant she tasted what she'd speak, ooohhh
But the funny thing is what happened to her nose, ooohhh
It grew until it reached all of her toes, ooohhh
Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose
And curtains laced with diamonds, dear, for you
And all the Roman noblemen for you
And kingdom's Christian soldiers, dear, for you
And melting ice cap mountains tops for you
Oh, and knights in flaming silver robes for you
And bats, that with a kiss turn prince for you
Swoop, swoop, oh, baby, ride, ride
Swoop, swoop, rock, rock
Swoop, swoop, rock, rock
