Morphing Through and Into the Nineties

i miss sitting on the couch
watching that show with Oscar the grouch
watching the tube as i sat, back slouched
didn't even know what it meant to vouch

now, there were some dank shows back then
but nothing was cooler than all the morphing

once tried out by Godley and Creme
the video for Cry made me scream

next there was The Golden Child
From 1986 with an Eddie Muphy smile

Then Gorge Lucas up and made Willow
Warwick Davis' face reminds me of an armadillo

at the turn of the decade there was the Last Crusade
the 3rd Indiana Jones was made

even Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap
morphs into some historical peeps

with Black or White Jackson does it right
the end of the video serves it up tight

with Terminator 2, on the Judgment Day
four Academy Awards were taken away

in the sixth Star Trek there was this girl maria
the first shapeshifter to be computer-iahd

then Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
there was an introduction of CGI

As the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers took the spotlight
technology was already in full flight

then Pokemon, in the Cuidad de Laguna
the morphing of Weedle into Kakuna

then came the books i read every day
Applegates animorphs scared the shit out of me

and watching cartoons on saturday mornings
Digimons ditched the tactical warnings

and growing up in this morphing world,
i feel my self to be a morphing girl

look at me now, i look kinda wild
but not to long ago i was only a child

and the nineties came, and the nineties left
but the way morphing took my heart,
you couldn't label that theft

its love
morphing through the nineties
thats love
morphing to the nineties
