Masked Figures

[Intro]

Daddy said I was born to sweep
a barn, a floor, a field
don't know much about aer-o-planes
can't calc-ulate a nu-clear yield

swept a Jap's trash off a ridge
'fore Truman sealed the deal
but all
I
ever 
wanted was to sweep sweet Susan Beale
off of her feet

[Chorus]

Su-zzy, I've got a vibe (yeah)
for expanding this human tribe
(and you know)
we're just chimps in the professors' eyes
so tell me,
tell me why,
we can't just B

[Verse 1]

It's an all day grind
emptying cans,
wiping tables off,
then at night the Klan
but you ig-nite this man
black curls and tan
lips much thicker than
girls with half your brains
drivin' me insane

All day in computer-land,
you're doin' numbers for The Man,
I wish that you were doin' me
Simple math, girl, 1-2-3

Girl, I'm a Christian man
a good ole boy with some lovin' hands
I know your books say "E's MC"
but square that right with a-lovin' me
Yeeeah

[Chorus]

Su-zzy, I've got a vibe (yeah)
for expanding this human tribe
(and you know)
we're just chimps in the professors' eyes
so tell me,
tell me why,
we can't just B

[Verse 2]

Your lab-or-a-tory,
Somewhere at Lang-ley
just killin' time
your space and mine
almost never meet—
West vs. East—
I just wish I could get you in them white sheets
heart skips a beat,
shot down to earth,
head twirlin' 'round,
Golden spiral down,
The numbers on your board,
Them NASA figures scrawled,
forget this southern drawl,
Oh to hell with it all, girl
to hell with it all
 
[Chorus]

Su-zzy, I've got a vibe (yeah)
for expanding this human tribe
(and you know)
we're just chimps in the professors' eyes
so tell me,
tell me why,
we can't just B

[Bridge]

Girl,
you and me,
me and her,
how it oughta be
1 man,
his girl
1 life,
2 
worlds.
But it's "career suicide",
and
Sue oh-she
don't be-lieve in no
afterlife,
and my drive
for expanding this human tribe
is all fried

so I guess that after 5, I'll take a ride
me-n' the boys yell "Rebel Pride",
Robby Lee,
southern air quick hittin' me,
through the trees,
hoods up,
four-hun-dred deg-rees
YEAH WE'LL SEE
Blazes rise
place that she lives
Way out of town,
In the ashes of her bed,
Will be found
nothing but some numbers, now
oh you know, that's my 7 digits
wow,
I didn't need to go and
burn it down...

[Chorus, slow]

Su-zzy, I've got a vibe (ohhh)
for expanding this human tribe
(and you know)
we're just chimps in the professors' eyes
so tell me,
tell me why,
we can't just B
