The Legendary Pink Dots - Waiting For the Cloud lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Waiting For the Cloud lyrics]
The river was rainbow stew
The fishes choked and cursed
The thirsty dogs spat fire, rolled in glue
Then they burst
The fur balls flying, trees were
Dying dandelions were crippled, bald
We saw it all in colour now
We're waiting for the cloud
A mother forcefed baby milk which
Ticked and bubbled black
She sank it back with plastic pills
Although it stank seemed thankful
Rolled up in her sack, she won't be back
She won't grow old
We saw it all in colour now
We're waiting for the cloud
And crocodiles were sprouting wings dead
Sheep filled the fields
The children rode on locusts
And threw slings at
Anything that could be killed and eaten raw
No weeping sore, no claws, no balls
We saw it all in colour
Now we're waiting for the cloud
We're told it could be 15 days
We're busy digging holes
The deep ones for the pure
Selected shallow ones for old and sick
The derelicts, the poor
The junkies, criminals, the whores
There's more, there's red and yellow
Black and blue there's me, there's you
(Waiting for the cloud)
The fishes choked and cursed
The thirsty dogs spat fire, rolled in glue
Then they burst
The fur balls flying, trees were
Dying dandelions were crippled, bald
We saw it all in colour now
We're waiting for the cloud
A mother forcefed baby milk which
Ticked and bubbled black
She sank it back with plastic pills
Although it stank seemed thankful
Rolled up in her sack, she won't be back
She won't grow old
We saw it all in colour now
We're waiting for the cloud
And crocodiles were sprouting wings dead
Sheep filled the fields
The children rode on locusts
And threw slings at
Anything that could be killed and eaten raw
No weeping sore, no claws, no balls
We saw it all in colour
Now we're waiting for the cloud
We're told it could be 15 days
We're busy digging holes
The deep ones for the pure
Selected shallow ones for old and sick
The derelicts, the poor
The junkies, criminals, the whores
There's more, there's red and yellow
Black and blue there's me, there's you
(Waiting for the cloud)
