Lyrics
Verse 1:
I was absent, a specimen of secular detachment.
And exploited, of magnitude I couldn’t comprehend.
Never dive in just run away, Save the fare for another day,
The bronze tap is dripping, and I’m left sipping from a fountain.
Verse 2:
It’s been ages, the pilot puts mosquitoes into cages.
Cheques have been cashed; the mosque becomes the firefighters boom crash.
Never dive in always run away, Save your pennies for a rainy day,
The hot tap is dripping, and I’m left slipping off a mountain.
Chorus:
I was thinking of recruiting a ghost writer,
And forbidding her from focussing on my fears.
Then I heard of moths from up in the Amazon,
Whose water intake comes from sipping tears.
Verse 3:
I was frantic, the turtle with the lashes looked romantic.
Had a fun day, scored immunity by tuning in on Monday.
Don’t dive in only run away, Mould my gnome from a smoother clay,
The keg tap is dripping, and I’m left stripping on the Front Bar.
Chorus:
I was thinking of recruiting a ghost writer,
And forbidding her from focussing on my fears.
Then I heard of moths from up in the Amazon,
Whose water intake comes from sipping tears.
Verse 4:
Had an X-ray, there was movement through the chaos under display.
Got the crevice, such behaviour from the saviour Benedictus.
Won’t dive in better run away, Save my hair for a closer shave,
The cold tap is dripping, and I’m left sitting here astounded.
Chorus:
I was thinking of recruiting a ghost writer,
And forbidding her from focussing on my fears.
Then I heard of moths from up in the Amazon,
Whose water intake comes from sipping tears.
Outro:
Sipping tears, Sipping tears, Sipping tears, Sipping tears.
