Brother Pele's in the back
Sweet Seena's in the front
Cruising down the freeway
In the hot, hot sun

Suddenly red blue lights
Flash us from behind
Loud voice
"all will please step out onto the line"

Pele breathes words of comfort
Seena just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
Is that a Chevy 69?

How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre

Destination unknown
As we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster
Reveals a smile from the pack

Elephants and acrobats,
Lions next monkey
Pele speaks righteous
Sister Seena says funky

How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around (I look around)
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

Ringmaster steps up
Says the elephants left town
People jump and jive
And the clowns inch back around

T.V. news and cameras
There's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters
Ask the where, for and why

Pele yells "we're outta here"
Seena says "right on"
Make your moves and starting grooves
Before they knew we're gone

Jump into the Chevy
Headed for big lights,
Want to know the rest
Hey, buy the rights,

How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around (I look around)
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
It's in my face

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around (I look around)
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around (I look around)
Everytime I look around (I look around)
Everytime I look around
It's in my face

    Memory:The "It's in my face" lyric is about the lava in Doom II and running around in it, and it splashing in your face.

    Source: I knew the singer, and we played Doom II a lot back then.

    General Comment:This came out about the time the movie "Once Were Warriors" came out so it was riding
    the coat tails of Maori culture becoming of interest.
    How bizarre? Huh?

    General Comment:This song is about being fugitives the lead singer Pauly Fuemana use to be a gang member and juvenile in New Zealand. The first verse is about them almost gettting caught. the second verse

    "Freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the past" Is obviously about wanted posters.

    The last verse "People jump and jive, but the clowns have stuck around
    TV news and camera, there's choppers in the sky
    Marines, police, reporters ask where, for and why
    Pele yells, "We're outta here," Zina says, "Right on"

    We're making moves and starting grooves before they knew we were gone
    Jumped into the Chevy and headed for big lights

    this refers to the manhunt that is out after them. With many people asking questions about who they are and where they might have gone. They take off to a big city to escape capture.

    Everytime I look around its in my face. Is referring to all the publicity they are getting from being fugitives.

    General Comment:I always thought it was Xena, not Zina.
    I was under the impression that this was just a lazy summer song about going on a road trip and encountering odd things along the way.

    It's also incorrect that we got this song in 1997. We got it during the summer of 98. I remember it well because I somehow remember the weekend it began to impact...

    General Comment:My take on it is that he's singing that life is bizarre and totally random/wild.

    "Ooh, baby (Ooh, baby)
    It's making me crazy (It's making me crazy)
    Everytime I look around
    Everytime I look around (Everytime I look around)
    Everytime I look around
    It's in my face"

    But yeah... Amazing song. ^_^

    General Comment:Reminds me of growing up in the 90s, as for the meaning, probably nonsense.

    General Comment:the video makes it into a soap opera. They went bankrupt, so that's probably why they were one-hit wonders.
