They Might Be Giants - Three Might Be Duende lyrics

Monochrome Martinet his texture is starch
The song is a march and from the beginning
His Duende was winning
But though he's a worthy emcee
He'll never be part of the three orpheum act
Faustian pact three Might Be Duende, in fact

Necropolis Blownapart a ghostly sight
Emerges bright hot from the embers
The first team member
Is hatching a dastardly plan
Like a bird with a dastardly egg
Trapped in his time lost in his rhymes
One Might Be Duende defined!

Apocryphal Espadrille the shaper of dreams
Returns to the scene no diorama
Could match his drama
A smile that would frighten the blind
The incubus freezes the mind
Fooled by his charm right off the farm
Sound Might Be Duende's alarm

Dystopio Smashedtobit's the keeper of dust
The builder of rust when you discover
Sleep's older brother
The trio is finally complete
The trio has just one conceit
Forged by their past first in their class
Three Might Be Duende (Three Might Be Duende)
Three Might Be Duende (Three Might Be Duende)
Three Might Be Duende at last
