The Flaming Lips - The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now lyrics
[The Flaming Lips - The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now lyrics]
We have three dogs that love
To chew stuff up
So we're always gettin' them
Some toys and stuffed
Animals and stuff so they can destroy
Them and usually whatever we get is shredded
To pieces within a couple of days
And one day I noticed that this
Stuffed animal that we had gotten
(they had had it for about a week) had
Remained relatively unharmed, A
Little bit dirty
But it really didn't have any damage
So I was kind of watchin'
Them for the next couple
Of days, and I noticed that
For some weird reason
This little stuffed animal seemed like
They all liked it for
Some weird reason it was special to them- not
Only did they not chew it up
They sort of made it seem like it was
Their baby they treated as though it was
Their own baby, so I thought, "this is
Weird" how strange this is- Of all the toys
And things that we get for them
For some weird reason, this one, that wasn't
Really any different from the rest
This one is picked to be
Special so there you go
So some time passed and one day I
Noticed that this box of "big plastic
Insects, " that I had been keeping
On a shelf in the bathroom
Had somehow fallen down
And unfortunately it looked as though
The dogs had already
Chewed up most of the stuff in
It, the big giant spiders
Ants, and cockroaches and stuff that were in
It and as I walked around
The house picking up the shredded pieces
Of these plastic insects I came
Across the Baby- you know, their stuffed
Animal baby! And there it was
Just torn to shreds, like everything else
- all the other stuff
Finally this one was torn to shreds
So later on
I came across one of the giant grasshoppers
That for some reason hadn't been
Chewed up at all
Not even as much as a small tooth
Mark so I watch, and it occurs to me that
For some reason their affections
Have changed and I can plainly see
That, instead of the stuffed animal
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
To chew stuff up
So we're always gettin' them
Some toys and stuffed
Animals and stuff so they can destroy
Them and usually whatever we get is shredded
To pieces within a couple of days
And one day I noticed that this
Stuffed animal that we had gotten
(they had had it for about a week) had
Remained relatively unharmed, A
