Robyn Hitchcock - Let There Be More Darkness lyrics

And on the eighth day, when he
Had rested, he created darkness
As for all around him he needed a
Cloak to hide himself from his tired
Labours and the antelope and the deer
And the ostrich and the zebra
Hid their faces and ran like
Tiny children into the shrivelling
Blackness around them and the
Trees grew hoods and
The cows winced and all the
Crops began to droop
Even the coal rattled in terror for, lo
There was no light anywhere

And he was well pleased with
His labours, and he smiled, and
Was unable to find his way
Out of the room consequently
He blundered around
His new creations stamping
Helplessly left and
Right upon the new buds of
His endeavours octopuses, caterpillars
Tendons and worms were squashed like buds
Easter bunnies ruptured like eggs

At length, he found the door
And, fumbling with the handle
He chanced to knock the key on to the ground
As he lowered his nose to
Rummage around that vast
Appendage where he might see
Something on the floor
He beheld a ray of light
Coming in from the hall:

"Kevin? Supper's ready"
"Mom, I'm locked in!"
"Kevin supper's ready!" "MOM!"
(Waga waga, waga waga)
