Of Course Lyrics
[Intro]
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
[Verse]
Of course this land is dangerous
All of the animals
Are capably murderous
[Pre-Chorus]
When I was a boy, my big brother held on to my hand
And he made me slap my own face
I looked up to him then, and still do
He was tryin' to teach me something
And now I know what it was!
Now I know what he meant!
And now I know how it is!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
[Chorus]
One must eat the other
Who runs free before him, put him right into his mouth
While fantasizing
The beauty of his movements, a sensation not unlike
Slapping yourself in the face
Slapping yourself in the face
It's like slapping yourself in the face
[Interlude]
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
[Chorus]
Of course this land is dangerous
All of the animals
Are capably murderous
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I was a boy, my big brother held on to my hand
And he made me slap my own face
I looked up to him then, and still do
He was tryin' to teach me something
And now I know what it is!
Now I know what he meant!
And now I know how it is!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
[Chorus]
One must eat the other
Who runs free before him, put him right into his mouth
While fantasizing
The beauty of his movements, a sensation not unlike
Slapping yourself in the face
Slapping yourself in the face
It's like slapping yourself in the face
[Interlude]
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
[Chorus]
And said, one must eat the other
Who runs free before him, put him right into his mouth
While fantasizing
The beauty of his movements, a sensation not unlike
Slapping yourself in the face
Slappin' yourself in the face
It's like slapping yourself, slappin' yourself
Slapping yourself, slapping yourself in the face
Slapping yourself in the face
Slapping yourself in the face
[Outro]
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
