LOBSTERS AND PENGUINS

(LOBSTERS)
Beside the garden walls, we crawl
In ancient peace
We don't need your money
In the Gulf of Maine
But closer to Yarmouth
Crustaceans untarnished
Comin' out of my shell
And I'm gnawing it down
For precious nutrients
Dance face to face
Pinch of flesh for the taste
I ate you
You're tasty

And the lobsters get high
And the lobsters get high
Ride on the tail of a whale and smile
Smile
Trawlers, traps, and elastic bands do not exist
Tonite I dine on clams and fish
In the murky bottoms
Trawlers, traps, and elastic bands do not exist
Tonite I dine on clams and fish
In the murky bottoms

When I was a kid, I hid
Checked out the honeys
He checked out the honeys
I see none of the tail
That I seen today
And that ain't even funny
Might get swept by a wave
I back pedal for days
And seaweed
Just happens
Now don't cross my path
'Cuz you might regret this
When you ain't got no claws left

And the lobsters get high
And the lobsters get high
Ride on the tail of a whale and smile
Smile
Trawlers, traps, and elastic bands do not exist
I dine on clams and fish
In the murky bottoms
Trawlers, traps, and elastic bands do not exist
I dine on clams and fish
In the murky bottoms
Aah

(PENGUINS)
All the boys and I, we huddle
With our eggs
Try and keep our leggies warm
And while the chicks go get our feed
We try to brave the storm

And I never want to know dumb luck
I never want to know dumb luck

Further off, we're staring
At the break
Where the water divides the ice
And a little filet-o-fish
It would be awfully nice

And I never want to know dumb luck
I never want to know dumb luck
