Lyrics for In The Egg by Hawkwind:
| | | Artist: | Hawkwind |
| | Album: | Lyric Book | | Track: | In The Egg | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 80 | | | | Lyrics: | We live in the Egg
We live in the Egg
We have covered the inside wall of the shell with
dirty drawings
and the christian names of our enemies
We are being hatched
Whoever is
hatching us is hatching our pencils as well
Set free from the Egg one day, at once we shall
draw a picture
of whoever is hatching us
We assume that we're being hatched
We
imagine some good natured fowl and write school essays about the colour
and creed of the hen
that is hatching us
When shall we break the shell?
Our prophets inside the Egg, for a
middling salary, argue about
the period of incubation
The posit a day called "X"
Out
of boredom and genuine need, we have invented incubators
We are much concerned about our
offspring inside the Egg
We should be glad to recommend our patent to whom looks after
us
But we have a room full of hardheads, senile chimps, polyglot embryos
chatter all day
and even discuss their dreams
But what if we're not being hatched?
What if the shell will
never break, if the horizon is only that of
our scribbles, and always will be?
We hope
that we're being hatched
Even if we only talk of hatching there remains the fear
that
someone outside the shellwill feel hungry
and crack us into the frying pan with a pinch of
salt
What then my brethren inside the
Egg?
