'82년에 발표된 본 작품은 프랭크 자파가 1970년대를 뒤로 하고 1980년대에 들어섰다는 상징적 의미를 내포하고 있는 작품이다. 1982년 발표되어 언제나 그래왔듯, 평단의 격찬 세례를 한 몸에 받았다. 전체적으로 그의 1980년대 성향, 즉 복잡한 악기 구성을 바탕으로 한 심플한 곡의 전개가 기본 바탕을 이루고 있으며 이를 통해 완성되는 음악의 형식적 아이러니는 듣는 이들의 호기심을 무한대로 증폭시키고 있다. 특히 그의 딸인 문 자파가 보컬로 참여한 'Valley Girl'은 그의 노래 중 유일하게 빌보드 팝 챠트 상위권에 진입하며 커다란 히트를 기록했다. .... ....

I come from nowhere And you should go there Just try it for a while The people from nowhere Always smile
Their eyes are all frozen over The sides of their faces pooch out at the corners Because that's what happens when their mouths turn up On both sides Which is why we can tell they're smiling
They never frown They never let their eyebrows turn down They like going around with their teeth showing All the time They are from nowhere Your teeth are showing So maybe you been there
You could have the disease of nowhere people Where the air gets stuck all over their gums When their nowhere lips roll back For real excitement They stand still They shut up Then they don't do nothing Out there in nowhere

There's a ship arriving too late To save a drowning witch She was swimmin' along Tryin' to keep a date With a Merchant Marine Who told her he was really rich But it doesn't matter no more... She's on the ocean floor 'N the water's all green down there 'N it's not very clean down there 'N water snakes 'N rusty wrecks Is all that she can see As the light goes dim And she's tryin' to swim Will she make it? (Boy, we sure hope so...)
Not even a witch oughta be caught On the bottom of America's spew-infested Waterways, hey-hey... She could get radiation all over her She could mutate insanely... She could mutate insanely... (that's right) You know she could go on the freeway and grow up to be 15 feet tall and scary-lookin' And then... Cars could crash all over the place As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on... Lookin' up to see her face
Sardines in her eyebrows... Lobsters up 'n down her forehead All of them HORRIBLY LARGE FROM RADIATION... And smelling very bad And DANGEROUS!
Maybe a submarine could save her, And bring her home to the Navy... For some kind of ritual sacrifice...

She's only seventeen She's really sort of cute She's working in the street She's a teen-age prostitute
She ran away from home Her mom was destitute Her daddy doesn't care She's a teen-age prostitute
"I have got a pimp He treats me like a dog..." (All the stuff she's shooting Keeps her in a fog) "I would really like to try and get away..." (But if she gets caught he'll cause her some dismay)
Tiny little pants Chain around my boot Shakin' in the dark I'm a teen-age prostitute
