  QUOTES
crysta's father
Crysta, don't you think you're a little old to believe in human tales?
batty
Human tails? Humans don't have tails. They have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts and walk around saying "Hi, Helen".

batty (batty rap lyrics)
Yo - The name is Batty
The logic is erratic
Potato in a jacket
Toys in the attic
I rock and I ramble
My brain is scrambled
Rap like an animal
But I'm a mammal

I been brain-fired - electrified
Infected and injectified...
Vivisectified... and fed pesticide!
My face is all cut-up
'cos my radar's all shot-up
Nuurse! I need a checkup from the neck-up
I'm batty...

They used and abused me
Battered and bruised me
Red wires - green wires
Stuck 'em right through me
So hear my batty word
Exercise a little prudence
When dealing with humans

'cause I'm a real fruit bat
And I'm ready to rap - I'm ready to snap
I suffer from sciatica and chapped lips
And jock itch - like a rocket in my pocket
And I need to scratch - but now I can't stop it
I'm batty - I'm batty - It's my batty rap
It's my batty rap
It's my batty rap
