They Might Be Giants - Wait Actually Yeah No

on a south sea islandwait actually yeah no
in the doctor's waiting room downtownno never mind
on a highway exit ramp
in a big department store
wait um yeah no
world war one the western front
place you went on business once
yes but not that

twenty-car collisionwait actually yeah no
someone you don't know staring at youno never mind
pair of white magician gloves
camels in a caravan
wait um yeah no
thing you haven't tried before
misremembered anecdote
yes but not that

self-enclosing whale
artificial pain
marijuana egg
swimming tambourine
frozen human rug
secret wolverine
odorless guitar chord

wouldn't it be good ifwait actually yeah no
what aboutokay like a thing likeno never mind
wait a second, hear me out
picture this: imagine if
wait um yeah no
open up your mind to this
close your eyes, consider it
yes but not that
