They Might Be Giants - How Now Dark Cloud? lyrics
[They Might Be Giants - How Now Dark Cloud? lyrics]
I have been poisoned by lead
And from this one pencil it's spread
And now it's seeped into the thread
Of all my black clothes
Get back in the white panel van
Reshuffle the old master plan
For we are the Flying Dutchmen
And that's all we know
This is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud?
I got a lazy eye attached to a lazy mind
Attached to a lazy guy adrift on the sea
And these are the dispatches
No sequins or mismatches
All tied up in small batches
Left under a tree
You had your fun and had love put aside
Been crushed by the tumblin' tide
How now dark cloud?
Wake up Miss Mysterious
And the slideshow projectionist
And we will all swing from the truss
Until the dawn
So this is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud?
And from this one pencil it's spread
And now it's seeped into the thread
Of all my black clothes
Get back in the white panel van
Reshuffle the old master plan
For we are the Flying Dutchmen
And that's all we know
This is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud?
I got a lazy eye attached to a lazy mind
Attached to a lazy guy adrift on the sea
And these are the dispatches
No sequins or mismatches
All tied up in small batches
Left under a tree
You had your fun and had love put aside
Been crushed by the tumblin' tide
How now dark cloud?
Wake up Miss Mysterious
And the slideshow projectionist
And we will all swing from the truss
Until the dawn
So this is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud?
