lyrics

Well I was drinking Bud Light on the hood of my Ford
Sand between my toes
Good summer fun just me and my brothers
And you know how that goes

Now I'm a grown man, been 'round the block
I seen a thing or two
But when you stepped outta the water that day
I didn't know what to do

You took me by surprise
I don't understand but I'll damned well try

Hey you, what's the story
What're those things on your chest for
Your stuff's different from my stuff
And it's hard to ignore
I never seen a creature like you before

When you got two dads and you live in the desert
You learn to get real wild
Learn how to change tires, how to fire a gun
How to clone a human child

I thought I was a wiz
But they tell me you're a woman and i don't know what that is

Hey you, what's the story
What're those things on your chest for
You got two legs and a human face
But there should be something more...
I never seen a creature like you before

[It's the year 2319
We all lost the war with the big machines
They keep the sexes separate just to keep us in line]
But I'm trying to fight that sad look in your eyes

Hey you, what's the story
What're those things on your chest for
You got two legs and a human face
But there should be something more

Hey you, what's the story
Whatever happened to God's glory
Your stuff's different from my stuff
But it's hard to ignore
Honey, I never seen a creature like you before
