0:35The power of reason the top of the heap
0:42We're the ones who can kill the things we
0:46Don't eat
0:49Sharper than a serpent's tongue
0:52Tighter than a bongo drum
0:55Quicker than a one night stand
0:59Slicker than a mambo band
1:02And now the day is come
1:06Soon he will be released
1:09Glory hallelujah
1:10We're building the Perfect Beast
1:19Building building etc
1:27It's Olympus this time Olympus or bust
1:32For we have met the enemy and he is us
1:41And now the day is come
1:44Soon he will be released
1:47Glory hallelujah
1:49We're building the Perfect Beast
1:54Building Building
2:04Ever since we crawled out of the ocean
2:07And stood upright on the land
2:14There are some things that we just don't
2:18Understand：
2:21Relieve all pain and suffering
2:24And lift us out of the dark
2:28Turn us all into Methuselah
2:31But where are we gonna park
2:39Building Building
3:15The secrets of eternity
3:34We've found the lock and turned the key
3:37We're shakin' up those building blocks
3:40Going deeper into that box
3:42Pandora
3:44Wouldn't like it
3:44And now the day is come
3:48Soon he will be released
3:51Glory hallelujah
3:52We're building the Perfect Beast
4:01Building building
4:05All the way to Malibu from the Land of the
4:13Talking Drum
4:15Just look how far look how far we've come
The power of reason the top of the heap We're the ones who can kill the things we Don't eat Sharper than a serpent's tongue Tighter than a bongo drum Quicker than a one night stand Slicker than a mambo band And now the day is come Soon he will be released Glory hallelujah We're building the Perfect Beast Building building etc It's Olympus this time Olympus or bust For we have met the enemy and he is us And now the day is come Soon he will be released Glory hallelujah We're building the Perfect Beast Building Building Ever since we crawled out of the ocean And stood upright on the land There are some things that we just don't Understand： Relieve all pain and suffering And lift us out of the dark Turn us all into Methuselah But where are we gonna park Building Building The secrets of eternity We've found the lock and turned the key We're shakin' up those building blocks Going deeper into that box Pandora Wouldn't like it And now the day is come Soon he will be released Glory hallelujah We're building the Perfect Beast Building building All the way to Malibu from the Land of the Talking Drum Just look how far look how far we've come
