They Might Be Giants - Miniature Sidewalk Whirlwind

Описание: This rare TMBG track was released in early 2006 through TMBG's "Free Tunes" service. It was also featured on Podcast 3A and Podcast 44.

LYRICS:
Trying to avoid being hit in the leg
By the bag that is going around and around
In the miniature sidewalk whirlwind...

But the crumpled-up bag moves exactly as fast
As the speed at which you walk
To avoid being hit in the leg.

Aaaah!

To the amusement of others,
You are hit in the leg by the bag.
And as soon as it touches your leg,
It's completely attached.
Trying to pull off the bag
While still casually walking
Only increases the merriment.

So at first you consider violence against the onlookers,
But then on second thought, Maybe the bag.

La la la, etc.
Buppah ba ba ba, etc.

But it's made out of some kind of stretchy new plastic
That cannot be ripped in half.

Sadly you walk on, in anger and shame,
not considering the fate of the very next one
who will try to avoid being hit in the leg
by the bag that is going around and around
in the miniature sidewalk whirlwind.

Ever and always, around the world,
everywhere you go, there will always be those
who will try to avoid being hit in the leg
by the bag that is going around and around
in the miniature sidewalk whirlwind.
