1-2-8 Lyrics

    They played something
    They made something
    Brand new a baby blue machine
    Brass tacks, duct tape
    For the great escape
    Packed in there like sardines
    Back and forth
    East, south, west, north
    Shred the atlas burn the map
    Often lost and paths criss-crossed
    Wake me up I need a nap
    They did something
    Which meant something
    And that got them some attention
    Eyes wide
    A roller coaster ride
    Great pride in this invention
    I think they're selling Snake oil
    At the dog and pony show
    In the garden gee
    Would you pardon me
    And by the way how does it grow
    The explanation's unexplainable
    Holding onto something
    Once dreamt unattainable
    The course was never charted
    So don't look into the books
    The secret's not the recipe
    It's got to be the cooks
    They made something
    They played something
    Blood, sweat, and elbow grease
    If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen
    Get out it will increase
    Last train to where?
    Hey get out of here
    Nothing's measured and nothing's weighed
    A dash of honesty in the recipe
    That's the first mistake you've made
    1, 2 what's in the stew
    3, 4 no one's really sure
    5, 6 what's in the mix
    7, 8 this stuff tastes
