[HAL]: Stop Dave
|
Will you stop Dave?
|
Stop Dave
|
I'm afraid
|
I'm afraid
|
Dave, my mind is going
|
I can feel it
|
I can feel it
|
My mind is going
|
There is no question about it
|
I can feel it
|
I can feel it
|
I can feel it
|
I'm afraid

|
The monkey sat on a pile of stone
|
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
|
Strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land
|
The monkey looked up at the stars
|
And he thought to himself
|
Memory is a stranger
|
History is for fools
|
And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing
|
Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town
|
Hold on hold on soldier
|
|
When you add it all up
|
The tears and the marrowbone
|
There's an ounce of gold
|
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
|
And the Germans kill the Jews
|
And the Jews kill the Arabs
|
And the Arabs kill the hostages
|
And that is the news
|
And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused
|
He said Mama Mama, the President's a fool
|
Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals
|
And the joint chiefs of staff
|
And the brokers on Wall Street said
|
Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid
|
Time is linear
|
Memory's a stranger
|
History is for fools
|
Man is a tool in the hands
|
Of the great God Almighty
|
And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine
|
Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden

[Marv Albert:] "Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert

And welcome to our telecast
|
Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium
|
It's a beautiful day
|
And today we expect a sensational matchup
|
But first our global anthem"

[Marv:] "And here come the players
|
As I speak to you now, the captain
|
Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig
|
He's at periscope depth
|
It looks to me like he's going to attack
|
By the way did you know that a submarine
|
Captain earns 200,000 dollars a year"
|
[Edward:]"That's LESS tax Marv"
|
[Marv:]"Yeah, LESS tax
|
Thank you Edward"
|
[Edward:]"You're welcome"
|
[Marv:]"Now back to the game...he fires one...yes
|
There goes two; both fish are running
|
The rig is going into a prevent defense
|
Will they make it? I don't think so"
|
Look out!
|
Look at that baby burn!
