Momus - Peter Grimes lyrics
[Momus - Peter Grimes lyrics]
Great Bear in the trees and the Pleiades
Turning like a funfair ride
O my missing twin where do I begin
To tell you how I turn inside
Two of us were born then there came a horn
Then there came a storm
Somebody was lost at sea in the pandemonium
Of the non existent sun now I cannot tell
In the rising swell
If the brother lost was me
Hullo Peter Grimes hunted for your crimes
To your agonistic lair
They say you killеd a boy
Why would you destroy
Anyone so young and fair?
Why would you enjoy simply to dеstroy
Your apprentice boy when God is in the sky
In the pandemonium of the non-existent sun
Great Bear in the trees and the Pleiades
Turning with your destiny
A second murder now anchor from the prow
How the hell hounds growl for you
The boys they said you killed
Both are living still
The only one who's lost is you
I will make a pyre of money and retire
Money and desire
For Ellen, your abandoned bride
In the pandemonium of the non-existent sun
And on the day I die you will die as well
For you are living here inside
Glitter on the waves poison in the glade
Hanging from a rope of trees
Now I cannot tell on the rising swell
If the fisherman was me
Pandemonium a non-existent sun
Now I cannot tell in the rising swell
In the pandemonium of the non-existent sun
O my missing twin how do I begin
To tell you how I feel inside
Turning like a funfair ride
O my missing twin where do I begin
To tell you how I turn inside
Two of us were born then there came a horn
Then there came a storm
Somebody was lost at sea in the pandemonium
Of the non existent sun now I cannot tell
In the rising swell
If the brother lost was me
Hullo Peter Grimes hunted for your crimes
To your agonistic lair
They say you killеd a boy
Why would you destroy
Anyone so young and fair?
Why would you enjoy simply to dеstroy
Your apprentice boy when God is in the sky
In the pandemonium of the non-existent sun
Great Bear in the trees and the Pleiades
Turning with your destiny
A second murder now anchor from the prow
How the hell hounds growl for you
The boys they said you killed
Both are living still
The only one who's lost is you
I will make a pyre of money and retire
Money and desire
For Ellen, your abandoned bride
In the pandemonium of the non-existent sun
And on the day I die you will die as well
For you are living here inside
Glitter on the waves poison in the glade
Hanging from a rope of trees
Now I cannot tell on the rising swell
If the fisherman was me
Pandemonium a non-existent sun
Now I cannot tell in the rising swell
In the pandemonium of the non-existent sun
O my missing twin how do I begin
To tell you how I feel inside
