But, Then, Grandma Said No


 

But Then Grandma Said No

This is the next song in the possession album - the me-character keeps on wanting to go up to the sun, but then keeps on re-realizing Grandma said it was a bad idea. She's bummed. 

The lyrics are:

A long long trip - wild again
Wild again
Wild again

But then grandma said no
But then grandma said no

I'm going to the sun again
Sun again
Sun again

I'm going to have fun again
In the sun again
In the sun again

But then Grandma said no
But then grandma said no

She is a heavy, and I'm made of helium
Why won't she let me fly up to see the sun?
She is a heavy – does she weigh a million tons?
It is not every day, I can go have some fun
I want to go up to the sun tonight
But she sez, “no,” you won't survive the flight
And in my heart, I know she is correct
I have to part with the fire god – oh, heck

(In the second repetition of the rap, the "and" in the first line is a "but," and the "sez" in the 6th line is a "said.")

Here's the alternative player thingy, in case the one up top doesn't work on your portable electronic device:
