Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"The New Pollution"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: She's got a carburetor tied to the moon,
Pink eyes looking to the food of the ages. Why They're Nonsensical: How much can really be said to explain the nonsense here? It just seems like bizarre thoughts randomly strung together. The first of these lines might describe an image from a dream, but a bizarre dream at that. The second of these lines wouldn't even be a very meaningful description of an image from a dream.
Submitted by: Karen Smith
| "Loser"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Spray paint the vegetables
Why They're Nonsensical: Really? Some people do weird things with their foods. Makes me wonder what Beck was on when he wrote this.
