Metal man, lyric by Breeders, The

from the songs album Pod

I don't know how old I was
I don't know how old i was
But it was a '65 pickup
But it was a '65 pickup
I was lying on the ground
I was lying on the ground
With flat iron bars over my head
With flat iron bars over my head


One silver drop is all you need
One silver drop is all you need
To put a hole in your head at 2000 degrees
To put a hole in your head at 2000 degrees
That's right man, you be the Metal Man
That's right man, you be the metal man
At 2000 degrees
At 2000 degrees


That's hot *2
That's hot

That's hot
And over my head the hot wire was sparking

I got something down on my chest
And over my head the hot wire was sparking
And it began to bubble
I got something down on my chest

And it began to bubble
I was her parent, my three in a tree

When a drip dropped down on me
I was repairing my three on a tree
That's right man, I'm the Metal Man
When a drip dropped down on me
At 2000 degrees
That's right man, i'm the metal man

At 2000 degrees
That's hot

That's hot

(in the background there is a conversation between a man
And a woman. what they are saying is anyone's guess!)
