They Might Be Giants (1986)

• Everything right is wrong again
  Just like in the long long trailer
  All the dishes got broken and the car kept driving
  And nobody would stop to save her

  Wake me when it's over, touch my face
  Tell me every word has been erased
  Don't you want to know the reason
  Why the cupboard's not appealing
  Don't you get the feeling that

  Everything that's right is wrong again

  • "Everything Right Is Wrong Again"

• You know everything that I know so I know
  You've heard the voice that makes the silent noise
  That says that

  Everything that's right is wrong again.

  • "Everything Right Is Wrong Again"

• And now the song is over now
  The song is over now.
  • "Everything Right Is Wrong Again"

Lincoln (1990)

• Where your eyes don't go / A filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms / And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do / When you turn around to look it's gone beyond you / On its face it's wearing your confused expression / Where your eyes don't go
  • "Where Your Eyes Don't Go"

• I've built a little Empire / Off some crazy garbage / Called the blood of the exploited working class / But they've overcome their shyness / Now they're calling me 'Your Highness'/ And the world screams 'Kiss me, son of God'
  • "Kiss Me Son of God"

Flood (1990)

• We can't be silent / 'Cos they might be giants / And what are we gonna do unless they are?

Mink Car (2001)

• They revamped the airport completely / Now it looks just like a night club / Everyone's excited and confused
  • "Man, It's So Loud in Here"

• Time is flying like an arrow / And the clock hands move so fast they make the wind blow / And it makes the pages of the calendar go / Flying out the window, one by one
