They Might Be Giants bee of the bird of the month

Select language to translate this lyric

Everyone is crying at the dread hypnotic flying

Of the bee, of the bird, of the moth

You can't walk, you can't ramble 'cause you're gonna have to scramble

From the bee of the bird of the moth



Catbug is a cat but he's got bugness in his veins

Manhouse lives within himself with thoughtful human brains

Neither one is equal to the challenge of the freak we'll call

The bee of the bird of the moth



Now, the moth defeats the mouse and man

It's messing with the plan, it can't be believed

'Cause it's just a hummingbird moth

Who's acting like a bird that thinks it's a bee



Got a brand new shipment of electrical equipment

It's addressed to the bottom of the sea

Send a tangerine colored nuclear submarine

With a sticker that says, 'STP'



Windshield wiper, washer fluid spraying in the air

Head lice under hats lie in the headlights everywhere

Subatomic waves to the underwater caves

Of the bee of the bird of the moth



And the moth defeats the mouse and man

It's messing with the plan, it can't be believed

'Cause it's just a hummingbird moth

Who's acting like a bird that thinks it's a bee



Is it us or it that's messed up?



Everyone's deforming in the presence of the swarming

Of the bee of the bird of the moth

Protozoa, snakes and horses have enlisted in the forces

Of the bee of the bird of the moth



All are irresistibly directed by the section of a hypnotizing

Tractor beam presenting a prediction

Of the sleep of reason corporation in association

With the bee of the bird of the moth
