They Might Be Giants - SenSurround lyrics

rate me

SENSURROUND

When I was only a zygote

I still remember the time

When there was nothing to know or to think about

Except the sound of my mind

And the sound from outside

SenSurround

Down at the bottom

Sensible to ear and sternum

And the world first spoke to me in SenSurround

If Mom had known she was expecting

She might have gone to see "Jaws"

Instead of picking the film where the sound effects

Came right up through the floor

And I'd be differently formed

SenSurround

Down at the bottom

Sensible to ear and sternum

And the world first spoke to me in SenSurround

Accidentally in a coal mine

It was found

When they accidentally dug too far down

And found the SenSurround

I still don't know who conceived it

Or where they got the idea

But there it was in the aisle by the exit sign

A woofer covered in wood

To shake the world when it should

SenSurround

Down at the bottom

Sensible to ear and sternum

Made the fakeness realistic

When the action went ballistic

One degree shy of sadistic

And the world first spoke to me in SenSurround

If I could swim under the water

Without having to breathe

If I could follow the trail to the ocean floor

I think I know what there'd be

Down there waiting for me

SenSurround

Down at the bottom

Sensible to ear and sternum

Made the fakeness realistic

When the action went ballistic

One degree shy of sadistic

And the world first spoke to me in SenSurround
