lyrics

The I.K.
Nibik was insufferably smug
No one knew his first name
But they knew his mind on everything
From Zoroaster to aspartame
He knew so much by his esteem
He didn't need to do things
He talked and talked and never stopped
About perfect things and true things

The Internet Kittens came for him
On the first night they could think of
The I.K. came and ate his face
The Internet Kittens on parade

When Garbage Girl met Nibik, it was
Junk at first sight
She was contrary as a five-year-old
He was a god of always right
She made their love a spectacle
A waggling tongue of purple prose
Her words couldn't get a thought across
But she sure looked down her nose

The Internet Kittens came for her
On the first night they could think of
The I.K. came and ate her mouth
The Internet Kittens on parade

And there's another one
Dinosaur's only son
Got a skin so thin, don't nick it
He started everything, but will he finish it
Before they throw him in that thicket?
When Garbage Girl and Nibik
Staked their claim and laid it down
He promptly crumpled like a doll
Rewound himself right out of town

The Internet Kittens came for him
On the first night they could think of
The I.K. came and ate his heart
The Internet Kittens on parade
