Tough times in plastic land
You try to lose your head in the sand
But, it’s so hard to lose your mind
It doesn’t wanna get left behind

Three squeals for wiggly pig!
Got himself a big-wig gig
Cross his path, it might get rough
Especially if you ain’t white enough

Another day, another flood
You try and draw a line in the mud
But you know it ain’t worth your while
You can’t argue with a crocodile

Time holes!
Time holes!

Ahhhhh

Ghost Rider and Dr. Strange
Hanging out on the astral plane
Just last night, they went to bed
Fell asleep and woke up dead

Sad sack, shadrach spat
Always raining under your hat
Well it’s a sad world after all
Crumpled up like a tinfoil ball

Time holes!
Time holes!

Ahhhhh
