TestTubeBaby - Gimme Everything Lyrics

If you want to live forever
That's already been done
All the dead people
Are just sitting in the sun

If you're out on a limb
Go ahead and fall
The ground is hard
But I bet you're bouncy as a ball

If your head is full of voices
And your heart is emptied out
I don't really know
What that's all about

Just give me
Everything
And I will be
Happy as a goldfish
Down on his knee

Just give me
Nothing
And I will be
In the middle of the road
With a chimpanzee

I was walking down the street
And then I saw
A little girl
With a raccoon's paw

She was so thrilled
That she found some glass
Then she disappeared
Into the past

I don't know
What she's doing there
But I hope she found a bomb shelter
And some rubber bands for her hair

Just give me
Everything
And I will be
Happy as a truck driver
In a mystery

Just give me
Nothing
And I will be
In the middle of a storm
With a fresh sweet pea

Now everything I've told you
You know that it's an egg
And everything I've thrown away
Is crawling up my leg

I guess I'll join the circus
I guess I'll kill a bug
I guess I'll give the Dalai Lama
A great big hug

'Cause There will come a time
When the world is one
And when that time comes
I'll destroy my gun

I'll eat a mango
And some cantaloupe
I'll drink some whiskey
And shoot up dope

I'll fall into
A pile of cans
And sort them by color
All by hand

I'll buy some flatware
And a brand new blender
I'll get a second mortgage
With an internet lender

Just give me
Everything
And I will be
Trapped in a pet transporter
For eternity

Just give me
Nothing
And I will be
Singing until the capitalists
And the communists agree

I have a computer
And a big grandfather clock
I have every beanie baby
And a snowman made of chalk

I have been to Paris
I have been to Rome
I have traveled with my second cousin
And then I came home

And if you don't believe me
I'll jump from the Sears tower
And land in Worcester, Massachusetts
In about a half an hour
