Momus - The Tyro lyrics

Eyes that glow like cigarettes
With ashtrays underneath
The Tyro bites his fingernails to
Show his ugly teeth
Braying like a donkey, laughing like a sneeze
The Tyro's heart's a dynamo that
Churns like a disease

All the laughing elementals exploding
In their seats
Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets
The Tyro sit's at zero while
The child within him screams
A bush of hardy berries
A shudder through the trees
Mechanical as captains in cyclopean wars
Where foxes banish lions and
Prophets lie with whores
The Tyro is a mess, massive and immense
As civilisation's discontents

The laughing elementals exploding
In their seats
Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets

Grinning while deliberately standing
On your foot
The Tyro is a Brombroosh and an idiot to boot
Purposeless in masquerade
With England on his breath
Stuck between Cept and Megaloplinth

All the laughing elementals exploding
In their seats
Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets
The Tyro sit's at zero while
The child within him screams
A bush of hardy berries
A shudder through the trees
Mechanical as captains in cyclopean wars
Where foxes banish lions and
Prophets lie with whores
The Tyro is a mess, massive and immense
As civilisation's discontents

All the laughing elementals exploding
In their seats
Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets
The Tyro sit's at zero while
The child within him screams
A bush of hardy berries
A shudder through the trees

The Tyro sit's at zero while
The child within him screams
A bush of hardy berries
A shudder through the trees
