Lullaby Baxter - The Chatterbox Chronicles lyrics

If I were you, I'd build a time machine So you can go and find out where I've been I'm a sad giraffe, but you never asked why Even laughing gas makes me cry Caterpillars, chatterboxes, costume parties Paradoxes, lion tamers, railway stations Hieroglyphics, constellations Daffodils taught astronauts mathematics Barnum and Bailey kept elephants in their attics The least you could do is build a time machine It's time you go and find out where I've been Silver nitrate, X-ray gla**es, tightrope walkers Tap-dance cla**es, vacuum cleaners, birthday presents Geiger counters, phosphorescence Infinity's pretty measly after all Like a donkey doing cartwheels down the hall So hand out straitjackets on sinking ships Just quit calling me Miss Apocalypse Silver nitrate, X-ray gla**es, tightrope walkers Tap-dance cla**es, vacuum cleaners, birthday presents Geiger counters, phosphorescence I never meant to steal that Ferris wheel But, you know, flashing lights have a certain appeal And people going nowhere as happy as can be Thought I'd take them home so they could live with me
