lyrics

Tougher than a Bakelite platter
Cooler than a minus degree
Stubborn and sleek like a feline
Cyborg up in a tree
Man I wanna get it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?

A siren song Venus Fly Trap
Texture like Martian wax
Micro-fine grooves on the A-side
Tiny soft spikes on the back
Man I wanna pet it,
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?

Someone call the fire department
Get em out here on the lawn
Just a little water pressure
Fresh fruit falls to the ground
Man I wanna get it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?

The fire chief and some new flame
Are campin out in my back yard
Says your kitty cash is garbage
Says he’ll take a plastic card
But I got no credit

How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?

Now sometimes it moves like a fire
Or a lion runnin free
Sometimes when it’s hungry
I call it and it comes to me
But I already fed it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?

I already fed it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?
