They Might Be Giants - Wait Actually Yeah No lyrics

On a South Sea island, wait actually yeah no
In the doctor's waiting room downtown, no never mind
On a highway exit ramp
In a big department store
Wait um yeah, no

World War I, the western front
Place you went on business once
Yes, but not that

Twenty-car collision, wait actually yeah no
Someone you don't know staring at you, no never mind
Pair of white magician gloves
Camels in a caravan
Wait um yeah no

Thing you haven't tried before
Misremembered anecdote
Yes, but not that

Self-enclosing whale
Artificial pain
Marijuana egg
Swimming tambourine
Frozen human rug
Secret wolverine
Odorless guitar chord

Wouldn't it be good if wait, actually yeah no
What about okay like a thing like, no never mind
Wait a second, hear me out
Picture this, imagine if
Wait um yeah no

Open up your mind to this
Close your eyes, consider it
Yes, but not that
