Fruitcakes<br>By: jimmy buffett, amy lee<br>1994<br>--spoken:<br>You know I was talking to my friend desdemona the other day she<br>Runs this space station and bake shop down near boomtown. she told<br>Me that human beings are flawed individuals. the cosmic bakers<br>Took us out of the oven a little too early. and that's the<br>Reason we're as crazy as we are and I believe it.<br><br>Take for example when you go to the movies these days, you know.<br>They try to sell you this jumbo drink, 8 extra ounces of watered<br>Down cherry coke for an extra 25 cents. I don't want it.<br>I don't want that much organziation in my life.<br>I don't want other people thinking for me.<br>I want my junior mints. where did the junior mints go in the<br>Movies. I don't want a 12 lb. nestle's crunch for 25 dollars. i<br>Want junior mints.<br><br>We need more fruitcakes in this world and less bakers!<br>We need people that care! I'm mad as hell! and I don't want to<br>Take it anymore!<br><br>Chorus:<br>Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)<br>Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)<br>Struttin' naked through the crosswalk<br>In the middle of the week<br>Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)<br>Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)<br>There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us<br><br>Paradise, lost and found<br>Paradise, take a look around<br>I was out in california where I hear they have it all<br>They got riots, fires, mud slides<br>They've got sushi in the mall<br>Water bars, brontasaurs, chinese modern lust<br>Shake and bake life with the quake<br>The secret's in the crust<br><br>Chorus:<br>Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)<br>Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)<br>Struttin' naked through the crosswalk<br>In the middle of the week<br>Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)<br>Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)<br>There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us<br><br>--spoken:<br>Speakin' of fruitcakes, how 'bout the government? <br>Your tax dollars at work.<br><br>We lost our martian rocket ship<br>The high paid spokesman said<br>Looks like that silly rocket ship<br>Has lost it's cone shaped head<br>We spent 90 jillion dollars trying to get a look at mars<br>I hear universal laughter ringing out among the stars<br><br>Chorus:<br>Fruitcakes in the galaxy (fruitcakes in the galaxy)<br>Fuitcakes on the earth (fruitcakes on the earth)<br>Struttin' naked towards eternity<br>We've been that way since birth<br>Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)<br>Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)<br>There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us<br><br>--spoken:<br>Religion! religion! oh, there's a thin line between saturday<br>Night and sunday morning. here we go now.<br>Alright, alter boys.<br><br>Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa<br>Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa<br><br>Where's the church, who took the steeple<br>Religion is in the hands of some crazy-ass people<br>Television preachers with bad hair and dimples<br>The god's honest truth is it's not that simple<br>It's the buddhist in you, it's the pagan in me<br>It's the muslim in him, she's catholic ain't she? <br>It's the born again look it's the wasp and the jew<br>Tell me what's goin on, I ain't gotta clue<br><br>--spoken:<br>Now here comes the big ones. relationships! we all got 'em, we<br>All want 'em. what do we do with 'em? <br>Here we go, I'll tell ya.<br><br>She said you gotta do your fair share<br>Now cough up half the rent<br>I treat my body like a temple<br>You treat yours like a tent<br>But the right word at the right time<br>May get me a little hug<br>That's the difference between lightning<br>And a harmless lightnin' bug<br><br>Chorus:<br>Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)<br>Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)<br>Struttin' naked through the crosswalk<br>In the middle of the week<br>Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)<br>Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)<br>There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us<br><br>--spoken:<br>The future. captain's log, stardate two thousand and something.<br><br>We're seven years from the millenium<br>That's a science fiction fact<br>Stanley kubrick and his buddy hal<br>Now don't look that abstract<br>So I'll put on my bob marley tape<br>And practice what I preach<br>Get jah lost in the reggae mon<br>As I walk along the beach<br>Stay in touch with my insanity really is the only way<br>Its a jungle out there kiddies<br>Have a very fruitful day<br>Hey.<br><br>Chorus:<br>Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)<br>Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)<br>Struttin' naked through the crosswalk<br>In the middle of the week<br>Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)<br>Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)<br>There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us<br><br>--spoken:<br>That's right, you too. yeah those crumbs are spread all around<br>This universe.
