They Might Be Giants Metal Detector Lyrics

Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing
There's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the fear of
the unknown
And I've got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector is with me all of the time
I'm the inspector over the mine
Look past the volley ball
Look past the squawking gull
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal
'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector is with me all of the time
I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector
Watch it shine
Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening
But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard
enough of the sea
Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground
Don't need no volley ball
Don't need no squawking gull
Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll
For I've got something to help you understand
Something waiting there beneath the sand
My metal detector is with me all of the time
I'm the inspector over the mine
Look past the volley ball
Look past the squawking gull
Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal
'Cause I've got something to make you understand
Something hidden there underneath the land
My metal detector is with me all of the time
I'm the inspector over the mine
Metal detector
Watch it shine
Don't need no volley ball
Don't need no squawking gull
Metal detector all the time
