Momus - Burning the Flag lyrics
[Momus - Burning the Flag lyrics]
How many sharkies does Strawberry Nose got to
Pony and poke in a week?
And how many reefies has Trumpet
The Hash got to
Smoke till they run screaming
Out of his street?
It's so new when they make
Your mistakes for you
Now and they stuff you with chicken fat egg
Rippling with deathing gown
Gasoline, darling
You should've been burning the flag
It's nobody's business in places so vicious
What low company I can keep
So keep your nose out of my incubus and
Never tamper with me when I'm falling asleep
Because all of the garbage
You people have dreamed
Of is spilling through holes in my bag
And all of the drowning
And keeping-them downing
You should've been burning the flag
Killers and dentists and
Similar mentalists never
Can sleep in the night
And Trumpet the Hash had a clash
With the law but the
Law - surprise! - turned out
To be on his side
So cherish your horrible selfishness
Seeking your pleasure you hump in
The arms of a hag
Making your horrible meaningless babies
You're better off burning the flag
Violent philosophers tell us it's better
To slaughter the innocent void
And cynical laughter comes
Crashing through decor
Erected to voodoo the boys
In a killing machine a mechanical cockroach
Snatches your passport and screams
In the thousand year Reich of the meanest of
Meanest you're better off burning the flag
Killers and dentists and
Similar mentalists never
Can sleep in the night
And Trumpet the Hash had a clash
With The Claw but the
Law - surprise! - turned out
To be on his side
You cherish your horrible selfishness
Seeking your pleasure you hump in
The arms of your hags
Making your horrible meaningless babies
You're better off burning the flag
Pony and poke in a week?
And how many reefies has Trumpet
The Hash got to
Smoke till they run screaming
Out of his street?
It's so new when they make
Your mistakes for you
Now and they stuff you with chicken fat egg
Rippling with deathing gown
Gasoline, darling
You should've been burning the flag
It's nobody's business in places so vicious
What low company I can keep
So keep your nose out of my incubus and
Never tamper with me when I'm falling asleep
Because all of the garbage
You people have dreamed
Of is spilling through holes in my bag
And all of the drowning
And keeping-them downing
You should've been burning the flag
Killers and dentists and
Similar mentalists never
Can sleep in the night
And Trumpet the Hash had a clash
With the law but the
Law - surprise! - turned out
To be on his side
So cherish your horrible selfishness
Seeking your pleasure you hump in
The arms of a hag
Making your horrible meaningless babies
You're better off burning the flag
Violent philosophers tell us it's better
To slaughter the innocent void
And cynical laughter comes
Crashing through decor
Erected to voodoo the boys
In a killing machine a mechanical cockroach
Snatches your passport and screams
In the thousand year Reich of the meanest of
Meanest you're better off burning the flag

Seeking your pleasure you hump in

Making your horrible meaningless babies
You're better off burning the flag
