lyrics con'td: Tiger got to sleep, Thats it Man got to tell himself Man got to tell himself Man got to tell himself Man got to tell himself That he understands I wanted the world to make sense, so we'd all be happy instead of tense So I made some lies so they'd fit real nice, and I made this sad world Paradise. Nice, very nice Such different people in the same device.

[FUSpunkforlife]

the full lyrics are: I wanted the world to make sense, so we'd all be happy instead of tense. So I made some lies so they'd fit real nice, and I made this sad world Paradise. Nice, very nice Such different people in the same device. A lion hunter in the jungle dark, and a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park. Chinese dentist, and a British queen Both together in the same machine Nice, very nice Such different people in the same device. Bird got to fly Man got to sit and wonder

[bowuthegreatdemon]

"Tiger got to hunt,

Bird got to fly;

Man got to sit and wonder, "Why, why, why?"

Tiger got to sleep,

Bird got to land;

Man got to tell himself he understand."

[Drbootenstein]

that first verse is from a book by kurt vonegut = the cats cradle... its about making a religion based on lies to make life worth living... cool book and cool song

[protospasm]

I saw them in Flagstaff a couple of times, and am addicted to this song.

But, it's lyrics are driving me crazy (like when you can't get a song out of your head unless you know it?) So, I've listened to see if I can get them (the lyrics)...

[protospasm]

1st -

I wanted the world to make sense, so we'd all be happy instead of tense.

So I made some lies so they'd fit real nice, and I made this sad world Paradise.

Nice, very nice. Such different people in the same device.

Oh, a lion hunter in the jungle dark,

and a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park.

You can find this song as a free download on their website now. It's under the section called "summer at band camp."

[Ickyfrome]

This isn't based on Cat's Cradle; it's copied straight from it. If you love the song, you should definitely read the book!

[ospididious]

I just saw these guys open for les claypool last night. This band made me feel like I'd gone to the circus and was abducted by gypsies. See them live before you die and you will be a happy camper.

I think it's called "Bokonon", in reference to Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle.
