I got a spike like an echidna I got poison in my toes Me feet are nice and webbed That's what everybody knows... They like to call me ""duck bill,"" As if I was a bird But me existential drama Is really more absurd I'm a warm blooded, egg laying Cloacal monotreme, They got me in a tank To see if I can dream... Got me plugged into the bleeper And me brains bleepin' the bleep Got me hooked up to a monitor So they can watch me sleep Got electrodes sending signals From underneath my skin Knocked me out with Ketamine And when they plug me in I'm a warm blooded, egg laying Cloacal monotreme They got me in a tank To see if I can dream How'd that happen? Funny you should ask How'd that happen? Funny you should ask Well, I woke up in the evening, I was swimmin' in me stream, Yabbies mighty tasty If you know what I mean, See, I chase 'em down with lager Or a bit of amber ale, I break their little necks And regurgitate their tails I'm a warm blooded, egg laying Cloacal monotreme They got me in a tank To see if I can dream Then the water gets all cloudy And silt begins to churn, Motor like a cyclone, And my ears begin to burn. I'm hidin' in the eel grass When a hook comes from the sky Lift me up into a boat No, I don't wanna die! So they made me part of science Now I'm living in a glass Staring at captivity And how the time will pass. Well I'm looking for an answer Inside their prying eyes Wondering if a platypus Can take 'em by surprise Take them by surprise I'm a warm blooded, egg laying Cloacal monotreme They got me in a tank To see if I can dream I'm a warm blooded, egg laying Cloacal monotreme They got me in a tank To see if I can dream To see if I can dream I wish that I could dream I hope that I can dream I'd really love to dream
