[of Montreal - Lecithin's Tale of a DNA Experiment That Went Horribly Awry lyrics]
Here I sit planted in the mud
A mushroom of melted molecules
Here comes the pony that won the Tony
There were flaws in the experiment
I'll tell you about it if
You're interested to know
It was creepy the way they hovered above
And swooped down on the children
Their mouths agape exposing fangs of fire
Run children, run!
The three legged hyena cicadas migrated to
The small northern seaport village called
Durschfuch the horrible insects
Congregated above
The Durschfuch elementary school and
Would spend an indecent amount of time
Circling the playground the citizens
Of the village were very alarmed
By these new visitors
But since they were a God-fearing community
And were not allowed to bring
Any harm to any of God's creations
They had to pretend to ignore the
Large grotesque arthropods and continue
On with their lives as if
There weren't any menacing predators
Swooping over their offspring in
Time the hyena
Cicadas became hungry and this in when
The real terror ensued as I stated
Earlier, the adults of the village
Thought the best course of action was
To pretend the insects didn't
Exist and continued to send the
Children out to the playground
For recess every day the same
Thing occurred the children would
Stand apprehensively at the threshold of
The front gate until
The teachers ordered them outside to "play"
Then the children would run
Terrified towards the
Shelter of the banyan trees that
Formed an oval around the perimeter of
The schoolyard there they would spend
The duration of recess huddling
Together under the trees
Shaking with fear for the first few weeks
The children managed each day
To narrowly cheat
Death by hiding below the trees eventually
The hyena cicadas became mad with hunger and
Resolved to become more aggressive in
Their attempt to eat the children one
Of the more intelligent cicadas
Who happened to be the most
Famished of all of them
Had the idea that some of the flock should
Hide among the foliage of the banyan trees
While the others swooped over the
Children as usual then when
All of the children were
In their normal positions under the trees
The hyena cicadas hiding in the branches
Would descend upon them and
Kill them after that
All of the flock could gather
Under the trees for
A delicious feast his plan
Worked perfectly and
The adults of the village
Watched helplessly as the
Hyena cicadas ravenously devoured their
Beloved young ones
A mushroom of melted molecules
Here comes the pony that won the Tony
There were flaws in the experiment
I'll tell you about it if
You're interested to know
It was creepy the way they hovered above
And swooped down on the children
Their mouths agape exposing fangs of fire
Run children, run!
The three legged hyena cicadas migrated to
The small northern seaport village called
