Lobster

Cavorting in the mighty sea
Fish and rocks and plants and me
My shell is red, my eyes are shiny
But now I'm caught in trap so briny

Supermarket display case
Lethargic cold and in disgrace
Pincers trapped by rubber bands
Toddlers point with grubby hands

Suburban housewife sure is brave
Shoves me in the microwave
Oblivion is all I crave
Scream and thrash in boiling grave

Michael Benedetti: lead vocals
Chris DuPuis: acoustic guitar
Jon Lange: accordion
Michael Radford: wastebasket, thunder sheet
Kurt Revis: electric guitar
Adam Villani: plastic barrel, metal, beer bottles
Recorded in the Caltech Coffeehouse, December 5, 1993
