John K. Samson - Quiz Night At Looky Lou's lyrics

[Chorus 1] Quiz night at Looky Lou's Quiz night at Looky Lou's Quiz night at Looky Lou's I trust you will know what to do [Verse 1] I can't recall what we were waiting in line for When the first plane fell a block away And the next even closer Ma**ive thumps and flames And then I woke up with a calico cat on my chest In the basement of a bar in Sudbury I sang to it calmly with my mind and it obeyed my commands Slunk off to rub itself against the leg of a broken Terminator 2 pinball machine I dream of the line and the falling planes Once or twice a week these days Usually after a particularly challenging quiz night Which, for a reasonable fee and a place to sleep I administer in bars and lounges across the land [Chorus 2] Quiz night at Looky Lou's Quiz night at Looky Lou's When we meet and I sing you this song with my mind You will know what you need to do [Verse 2] The quiz I have developed is an elaborately coded message A quiz within a quiz Answerable only by Alpha Adepts and mind singers Each night I am certain they will reveal themselves to me Each night I am disappointed I must admit I am getting older And years of folding my legs into a Greyhound seat every day Is beginning to dull my powers Which were once considerable And are now wasted instructing cats Or warding off the body odor of my fellow pa**engers So when I saw you standing in line in the dream I felt joyful and certain When we finally meet tonight at Looky Lou's Sports Tavern in Sioux Lookout I will sing you the following song with my mind And hand you all my quiz materials I trust you will know what to do [Chorus 3] Quiz night at Looky Lou's Quiz night at Looky Lou's When we meet and I sing you this song with my mind You will know what you need to do Quiz night at Looky Lou's Quiz night at Looky Lou's Quiz night at Looky Lou's I trust you will know what to do
