Austin Lounge Lizards - Bonfire Of The Inanities lyrics

(Conrad Deisler/Hank Card) We rented a convertible in San Bernadino We were driving for driving's sake Across the tortured waterless mountains Through the moonscape of Mono Lake The lights of earth had faded behind The stars were fat and sleek The universe seemed enormous So how could we be unique? We scanned the voids for humanoids And an answer to the question "Why?" Carramba! What were we thinking? Cause we were borning to die! To the aliens above we are just tiny anys They could crush with their giant feet They could smash our car and mash us into A little bit of hamburger meat So let the wind blow through your head Your thoughts don't matter anyway We're insignificant, baby And we're all gonna fade away We only stopped in Reno for a very short time But the lights were way too bright We got tired of spending our winnings And went spinning out into the night In the desert we saw this giant man Exploding like the Fourth of July Slowly we turned to say "hello" When he vaporized into the sky We're feeling like a bunch of hothouse tomatoes Riding in a bubble-pack box With nothing between us and a big hungry worm But this canvas roof and the push bu*ton locks To the aliens above we are just tiny anys They could crush with their giant feet They could smash our car and mash us into A little bit of hamburger meat And then someday the whole planet'll blow And we're all gonna suffocate We're insignificant, baby And we just think it's great Insignificant Get it over Cut our taxes Make it so Marfa Lights Can't get no Where's our luggage? Just say thanks That oughta do it
