Dodo / Lurker Lyrics
[Part I: Dodo]
[Intro]
Too big to fly
Dodo ugly, so dodo must die
Dog go with fear on its side
Can't change, can't change the tide
Dog baiter, agitator
Asking questions, says he wants to know why
Ain't no reason that money can't buy
Mink he pretty so mink he must die
Must die, must die
[Verse 1]
Sun he giving life in his light
Part of the system
Friend to man, friend to the trees
No friend to the snowman
[Chorus]
Where does he go?
What does he do?
Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud
And end up at the bottom of the sea
[Verse 2]
Fish he got a hook in his throat
Fish he got problems
[Intro]
Too big to fly
Dodo ugly, so dodo must die
Dog go with fear on its side
Can't change, can't change the tide
Dog baiter, agitator
Asking questions, says he wants to know why
Ain't no reason that money can't buy
Mink he pretty so mink he must die
Must die, must die
[Verse 1]
Sun he giving life in his light
Part of the system
Friend to man, friend to the trees
No friend to the snowman
[Chorus]
Where does he go?
What does he do?
Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud
And end up at the bottom of the sea
[Verse 2]
Fish he got a hook in his throat
Fish he got problems
[Chorus]
Where does he go?
What does he do?
Does he hope he's too small, to poor a haul
Who'll end up being thrown back in the sea
I'm back in the sea
[Bridge]
Caretaker, horror movie
Only one eye, only needs one boot
Sweet lady, she knows she looks good
Vacuum coming for the bright and the brute
Big noise, black smoke
So pig-headed couldn't see the joke
But it ain't funny, ask the fly on the wall
It's only living, it don't matter at all
At all, at all
[Verse 3]
Pimp, he make you drool and grunt
He got an answer
One he got a dream of love
Deep as the ocean
[Chorus]
Where does he go?
What does he do?
Will the siren team with Davy Jones
And trap him at the bottom of the sea?
I'm back in the sea
I'm back in the sea
I'm back in the sea
Where does he go?
What does he do?
Does he hope he's too small, to poor a haul
Who'll end up being thrown back in the sea
I'm back in the sea
[Bridge]
Caretaker, horror movie
Only one eye, only needs one boot
Sweet lady, she knows she looks good
Vacuum coming for the bright and the brute
Big noise, black smoke
So pig-headed couldn't see the joke
But it ain't funny, ask the fly on the wall
It's only living, it don't matter at all
At all, at all
[Verse 3]
Pimp, he make you drool and grunt
He got an answer
One he got a dream of love
Deep as the ocean
[Chorus]
Where does he go?
What does he do?
Will the siren team with Davy Jones
And trap him at the bottom of the sea?
I'm back in the sea
I'm back in the sea
I'm back in the sea
[Part II: Lurker]
[Intro]
Meanwhile lurking by a stone in the mud
Two eyes looked to see what I was
And then something spoke
And this is what it said to me
[Chorus]
Clothes of brass
And hair of brown
Seldom need to breathe
Don't need no wings to fly
Ooh, and a heart of stone
And a fear of fire and water
Who am I?
[Chorus]
Clothes of brass
And hair of brown
Seldom need to breathe
Don't need no wings to fly
And a heart of stone
And a fear of fire and water
Who am I?

Ooh, and a heart of stone
And a fear of fire and water

Clothes of brass
And hair of brown
Seldom need to breathe
Don't need no wings to fly
And a heart of stone
And a fear of fire and water
Who am I?
