Try to Imagine a Terrible World Lyrics by The Donner Party

Complete Recordings 1987-1989

1988

Oh give me a poodle with bushy black hair
Give me a ring and a box full of air
Give me a palace without any walls
Give me a pig and a red rubber ball
I should be happy to meet with your mother
And visit the doctor on this sunny day
It's very warm for the middle of winter
And Mexico City is so far away
Oh let me recline in my chair in the corner
No one in heaven or earth is forlorner
Give me a key [?] with an elephant's trunk
Give me a pearl and a pile of junk
I am not overly clever or precious
I am not smarter than any by far
But I will live here in my cave by the ocean
And you can reside in a big plastic jar
Oh I will be happy to sit in the garden
Picking the berries and begging your pardon
All that I see is a terrible blur
Everything seems to be covered in fur
We were not meant to be highly regarded
We should be humble and hidden from view
Try to imagine a terrible world
In which you became me and then I became you
