Particle man, particle man Doing the things a particle can What's he like? It's not important Particle man Is he a dot, or is he a speck? When he's underwater does he get wet? Or does the water get him instead? Nobody knows, Particle man Triangle man, Triangle man Triangle man hates particle man They have a fight, Triangle wins Triangle man Universe man, Universe man Size of the entire universe man Usually kind to smaller man Universe man He's got a watch with a minute hand Millennium hand and an eon hand And when they meet it's a happy land Powerful man, universe man Person man, person man Hit on the head with a frying pan Lives his life in a garbage can Person man Is he depressed or is he a mess? Does he feel totally worthless? Who came up with person man? Degraded man, person man Triangle man, triangle man Triangle man hates person man They have a fight, triangle wins Triangle man Flansburgh message: Hi, this is John of They Might Be Giants, hope you had a very happy Fourth of July, and that you didn't blow off your fingers holding some M-80. Be sure to call MTV over and over again requesting our new video, "Purple Toupee", off our debut second LP, Lincoln, available in record stores everywhere - redefining music for the late eighties in some weird rock critic kind of thing. Talk to you later. Thanks for calling. Call back tomorrow for a different song. Bye bye. |
