They Might Be Giants - John Lee Supertaster lyrics
[They Might Be Giants - John Lee Supertaster lyrics]
When I was 39 years old
I heard a story i found out
That there're people walking among
Us who have superpowers these people
Are called Supertasters to
A Supertaster, bitter fruit's taste
Far more bitter
And sweets far more sweet then
Just a few months ago, I had
The chance to meet a real
Live Supertaster named John Lee and
This is his true story:
Nothing tastes the same
(nothing tastes the same)
To a Supertaster (Supertaster)
When he tastes a pear (tastes a pear)
It's like a hundred pears
(it's like a million pears)
He's got superpowers (superpowers)
He is a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Every flavor explodes (explodes and explodes)
Explodes and explodes
John Lee Supertaster tastes more than we do
Everything has a flavor
Some flavors are too much
Can't shut his mouth (can't shut his mouth)
'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Though he looks like a man (talks like a man)
He is a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Can't drink coffee or beer (coffee or beer)
'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Loves ice cream and pie (ice cream and pie)
He is a Supertaster
John Lee Supertaster
Tastes more than we know
Everything has a flavor some flavors must go
I heard a story i found out
That there're people walking among
Us who have superpowers these people
Are called Supertasters to
A Supertaster, bitter fruit's taste
Far more bitter
And sweets far more sweet then
Just a few months ago, I had
The chance to meet a real
Live Supertaster named John Lee and
This is his true story:
Nothing tastes the same
(nothing tastes the same)
To a Supertaster (Supertaster)
When he tastes a pear (tastes a pear)
It's like a hundred pears
(it's like a million pears)
He's got superpowers (superpowers)
He is a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Every flavor explodes (explodes and explodes)
Explodes and explodes
John Lee Supertaster tastes more than we do
Everything has a flavor
Some flavors are too much
Can't shut his mouth (can't shut his mouth)
'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Though he looks like a man (talks like a man)
He is a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Can't drink coffee or beer (coffee or beer)
'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Loves ice cream and pie (ice cream and pie)
He is a Supertaster
John Lee Supertaster
Tastes more than we know
