Vegetables 歌詞

My dear saggy, pruney old granny Is dying in the living room The ambulance came and took her away to the hospital in the city The hospital in the city is damp, crusty and rusty The doctor told me to wait and behave But I did not heed his words Instead I wandered through the hollow halls Curiosity lead me into the staff only room I saw crates stacked up so high It was a most curious sight So I opened one and then to my surprise I saw Vegetables! Carrots, garlics and chards! Cabbages, pumpkins, lettuce and peas! Something feels wrong there's a chill in my spine But before I could figure it out Footsteps clacking grew louder ...And louder! I ran down the hall in a panic Saw each dying patient as I ran Like slides in a show I witnessed it all Was a kafkan metamorphosis Senile and literal vegetables My granny's a broccoli I thought on the ride home, wide-eyed and disturbed Dreading tonight's salad dinner My mind swoops on back to the hospital halls Curiosity lead me into the staff only room Saw crates stacked up so high It was a most curious sight So I took a closer look and inside I saw I saw! Vegetables! Endives, beetroots and maize! Celeries, aubergines, gingers and leeks! I see wrinkly faces in the green leafy mess I told my parents what I saw But they did not believe me and told me to shut up And eat My broccoli
