VERSE
Brother you look like the Taj Mahal,
One colossal dome above you
And the smell of something other,
A pillar and a scimitar, a little
Yes I miss you like a formless hide
Stretching over me and dangled
From the coastguard in a chopper
The scaffold of me all awry, a little
Broke your shoulder on the library steps
Hanging round there in the dark
Just doing nothing or whatever
What do you mean you saw the stars? You little
I could write it in a murder font
I could say it in a way that would be lying or whatever
I don't want them to tell us apart!
CHORUS
You say that I'm an overlord?

That I'm supposed to be?

Teach me something that works, I take a long time,
To learn about the big one
Gorilla limb swipe and beat, and I learn dick about Earth.
Remember good men, would understand the heavens
And leaving those streetlights on a ghost dark hemisphere Earth.
I take a long time, to learn about the big one
Gorilla limb swipe and beat, and I learn dick about Earth.
Remember good man, you understand the heavens
But leaving those streetlights on?
