| | Album: | Mighty Like A Rose | | Track: | Hurry Down Doomsday The Bugs Are Taking Over | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 66 | | | | Lyrics: | MacManus/Keltner)
The man in the corner of this picture has a sinister purpose
In
the teeming Temple of the Railroad Kings
He's planting a trashy paperback book for accidental
purchase
Containing all the secrets of life and other useless things
But I can't
bring myself to look
Wake up Zombie
Write yourself another book
You want to scream
and shout my little flaxen lout
Hurry down Doomsday the bugs are taking over
She
sleeps with the shirt of a late, great country singer
Stretched out on her poor jealous
husband's pillow
In time you can turn these obsessions into careers
While the parents of
those kidnapped children start the bidding
for their tears
But I can't bring myself
to look
Wake up Zombie
Get yourself off the book
You want to scream and shout my
little waxen lout
Hurry down Doomsday the bugs are taking over
Forget about
Beethoven, Rembrandt and rock and roll
Forget about Mickey Mouse, Marlboro and Coca
Cola
Forget about Cadillac, Mercedes and Toyota
Forget about Buddha, Allah, Jesus and
Jehovah
Hurry down Doomsday the bugs are taking over
Anyday now a giant insect
mutation
Will swoop down and devour the white man's burden
Starting out with all of the
sensitive ones
Better make like a fly if you don't want to die
Look out there goes
Gordon
But I can't bring myself to think
Wake up Zombie
Kick up a big
stink
You want to scream and shout my little Saxon lout
Hurry down Doomsday the bugs are
taking over | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
