Lyrics
Matter Eater Lad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He constructed a factory
Just because he was hungry
Just to see how it tasted
Bicycle wheel in a brat's brain
Chorus: Yeah he's mad
He's matter eater lad
Yeah he's mad
He's matter eater lad
First he started on furniture
Then he moved on to parking lots
Now he's eating Ansonia
Now he's eating Andromata
He's matter eater lad
Chorus x3
