Kangaroo

In the heat of the highway
In the crash of the light
In the blood and the thunder
In the flash of the night

I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo

In the hands of a doctor
In the care of a nurse
In the knife of a surgeon
Is an elaborate curse

I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo

Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum
Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum
Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum
Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum

In your desperation
In your hopeless hope
In your invitation
To your dopeless dope

I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo

Put your arms in traction
Put your head in a cast
Put your lungs in iron
See how long you last

I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo

Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum
Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum
Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum
Rubadum, rubadum, rubadum-dum

From a southside disco
To the Washington Post
From the streets of Paris
To the Holy Ghost

I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo, I’m a kangaroo
