Cannibal Surf Babe [Before First Light Live, 2002]
(Let's meet up and get beat up)
Well she tied me to the headboard with a surf leash And her wet hair hugged her body like a long-lost friend And I really tried my best to get across to her But nothing she would say could be defended
Well her birthday suit it was her only present When I looked into her eyes - no history And I told her eating people wasn't pleasant But she laughed a snake eye laugh and walked away from me
And I watched her as she walked across the coals I watched her as she walked across the coals
Singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird And I'm your nightmare surfer babe Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard 'You still looking for the perfect microwave?
So I really did my best to get across to her I said: \"One day every pebble hits the beach\" And I kissed her face and held her like a long-lost friend But she was too far out there to be reached To be reached She was too far out there
She was singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird I'm your nightmare surfer babe Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard 'You still looking for the perfect microwave?
And the sun came up over the mountain And the waves rolled in across the bay And the fabulous brightly-coloured birds flew up out of the forest And she said \"Well we're all heaven's beautiful children living together in paradise Lie down my dear... you're going to enjoy this\"
And she looked like she'd had sex With a Tyrannosaurus Rex
Singing: I was born in nineteen sixty weird, old man I'm your nightmare surfer babe Mr. Wilson where's your sandbox and your beard 'You still looking for that perfect microwave? Perfect microwave
And I watched her as she walked across the coals...
And the sun came up over the mountain And the waves rolled in across the bay And the fabulous brightly-coloured birds flew up out of the forest And she said \"Well we're all heaven's beautiful children living together in paradise Lie down my dear... you have enjoyed this\" Songwriters: KELLY, MARK/ROTHERY, STEVE/TREWAVAS, PETER/MOSLEY, IAN
