Back Of A Truck Songtext / Lyric

She lifted the monument in her monumental arms

She was the Mother Superior with her carry-on luggage charms

She was this androgynous, powder-nosed girl next door

She had eaten her dog and she was back for more



Back for more

Back for more

Oh, she was back for more

Some more, yes please, some more



Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat-socked demigod

And her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod

Her front porch gave way beneath her classified weight

And when an ambulance came, they said it's much too late



Oh, it's much too late

Oh, it's much too, much too late

Oh, it's much too late

How late? Very late, too late






Now, the people of New Guinea and the people of L.A.

Have been penpals for years 'cause they both hate ballet

Only the pandas and bears have made a clean getaway

But the news bulletin claims it is gonna be okay



Now, Miss Lucy had a sweat shop where the immigrants worked

Problem was, they all turned to pumpkins at the 12 o'clock stroke

Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X

That was when the alien geraniums demanded the facts



No violence, of course

No violence, no violence, of course

Hey, hey, no violence, of course

Of course, why yes, of course

I-I mean, I mean, of course

Why yes, of, of course



Here the story gets hazy and the hair gets too long

And the TV gets quiet as we hear a real bad song

The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue

And there's a, a back of a truck selling smoke-filled lungs



And there's a back of a truck selling alien pods

And there's a, a back of a truck selling game show hosts

And there's a, a back of a truck selling the souls of the dead

And there's a back of a truck selling crumb-free bread

This is New York!



Now, there's a back of a truck selling the back of a car

And there's a back of a car selling roadway maps

And there are roadway maps selling the back of a head

Hey, how much for that back of a head, man?

Hey, wait a minute

Hey, wait a minute

Wait a minute, that's wait a minute, that's

Myy back of a head

Hey, you can't sell that, man, that's

Myy back of a head

Hey, hey sell it back to me, man, sell it back to me, hey, it's

It's my, muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-myyy, oh



She lifted the monument in her monumental arms

She was the Mother Superior with her carry-on luggage charms

She was this androgynous, powder-nosed girl next door

She had eaten her dog, and she was back for more



She had eaten her dowg, D-O-W-G

She had eaten her dowg, d-do-dowg, d-do-dowg, dowg, dowg, do

She had eaten her, eaten, eaten her, eaten, eaten her, oh

Mmm, mmm

Ohh, ahhlalalalalalohhh

She

Wooo, woo-woo-woo, wooo, woo

Some more, yes please, some more

Some more, yes please, some more
