Aaron and I wanted to write something like They Might Be Giants' "Fingertips." He started with the first line; I wrote the rest.
After this, each Grapefruit era album had a song created with the same method:
Tomato Rain: A Song
Ten Bear Spaceship Wash: Another Song
Pretty Milk: A Song III
Kindergarten, Flamethrowers: A Fourth Song
lyrics
She runs through fields of oatmeal
You can shower with clothes on, but it's better naked
That's right, sister: don't throw chocolate at the window
Because I almost urinated on the bus
Cucumber ninja frying pan foliage racetrack wardrobe
Carpet
I almost urinated on a flashlight
Don't you take your life away with a knife
Take your dog for a walk in the fog
Shredded lettuce heads and a a song
