They Might Be Giants — The Velvet Ape

The year is 1970 old And the era of softness has overtaken the youth A rivalry between former collaborators has begun This is part of the story before that story disappeared You thought you knew The soft with all the rock removed But all you knew Was just the softness Titan approved One two three four The Velvet Ape declares war One two three five Please prepare to be taken alive So soft the wrath of my pillow attack so soft Stand back from the wrath of my pillow attack stand back Who dares to hold The violet cape of The Velvet Ape? Soft and the drape is languorous Behold the drape One two three four Titan’s sound has covered the ground One two three five The Velvet Ape provides your escape So soft the wrath of my pillow attack so soft Close up is the lens on the primate attack close up
