On The Way (To Oklahoma) - The Residents

On the way to Oklahoma, I turned into a cat

My true love was a Tiger, I’m sure you can see that

I called the tiger Dolly, it was my mother’s name

On the way to Oklahoma you finally became sane

On the way to Oklahoma, a voice inside my mind

Demanding that my senses expanded space and time

The voice revealed a feeling of heated ecstasy

On the way to Oklahoma, I peed upon a tree

On the way to Oklahoma, I needed to eat meat

So I attacked a dog who was sleeping in the heat

While eating in the sunshine a pleasant thing occurred

On the way to Oklahoma I licked myself and purred

(chorus)

On the way to Oklahoma, his split became complete

Reality had faded, his fantasy complete

The world he had constructed, from felines and despair

On the way to Oklahoma, became as clear as air
