Astro Safari USA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lion is a gryphon who forgot his wings
A snake is a chameleon without his shoes
A dentist is a doctor but just for your tooth
A rhino is a hippo with a pointy nose
A dolphin is a surfboard with a face
A giraffe would need a big turtleneck sweater
Kids don't do drugs
Cause' they all lead
Closer to the edge of your reality
All at once knowledge overload
A power your brain can't control
Wolves are dogs that got really old
A worm is a grub on a diet
A butterfly is a bird with paper wings
Spaghetti is lasagna that they made into strings
A lucky rabbit only has three feet
A dragon is a lizard with bad breath
A lilypad is a private frog island
A ham is a pig with really bad timing
Kids don't do drugs
Cause' they all lead
Closer to the edge of your reality
All at once knowledge overload
A power your brain can't control
Kids don't do drugs
Cause' they all lead
Closer to the edge of your reality
All at once knowledge overload
A power your brain can't control
Facts are cool
Lava is a smoothie that's made out of fire
Facts are cool
Yeah
