They Might Be Giants - Metal Detector lyrics

Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of the unknown And i've got something to help you understand Something waiting there beneath the sand My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Look past the volleyball (look past the ball) Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull) Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal 'cause i've got something to make you understand Something hidden there underneath the land My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Metal detector, watch it shine Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball) Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull) Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll (don't need to look at any doll) For i've got something to help you understand Something waiting there beneath the sand My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Look past the volleyball (look past the ball) Look past the squawking gull (look past the gull) Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal 'cause i've got something to make you understand Something hidden there underneath the land My metal detector Is with me all of the time I'm the inspector over the mine Metal detector, watch it shine Don't need no volleyball (don't need no volleyball) Don't need no squawking gull (don't need no squawking gull) Metal detector, all the time (metal detector all the time)
