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.
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 crickets safe within their egg crates
Ignorant of their last hour.
And I'm wrong to be wondering.
And I'm wrong.

And I'll be wrong to be wondering.
I'll be wrong.
I'll be wrong to be wondering.
I'll be wrong.
