A Model Psychosis
Track 7. The Animals
1943, downstairs.
I felt, since the album has been pretty dark and wierd for a few tracks now, we needed a little fun. It's also hard to get much darker after all that darkness, so I thought the irony of a bossa nova was the only way to sing about animal experiments.
In any case, by now you might find yourself becoming aware that the story of LSD is not all hippies and flower power. Some of those experiments were pretty colorful, though.
lyric
doctor cerletti and doctor rothin got a creature lab downstairs full of chirps and barks a sort of Noah's Ark with every animal in pairs the hamster thinks he's sliding the fish are swimming upside-down if we only knew what you are going through i should take your pulse right now the spider builds a better web and the cat's afraid of the mouse and the elephant, poor old Tusko, his giant heart gave out in the future we will find out how we can help their human peers make the frigid tender or end a bender that lasted 20 years to feed the poor is easy like mother teresa said my dear old aunt or even cary grant could have a better life ahead the spider weaves a perfect [builds a better] web and the cat's afraid of the mouse and the elephant, poor old Tusko, his giant heart gave out we don't have many talkers in our psychedelic zoo but the monkeys (let's see the monkeys) the whole tribe is in a to-do 'cause that one monkey don't do monkey say monkey do
