My fingers glided over the piano keys like eels,
The moon shone like a searchlight in the knotted web of trees,
A siren in the distance was my own voice close at hand,
I laughed like a machine gun as the building came to the ground.
And my head spun round like a helicopter pilot
My head spun round like a helicopter pilot.....

Now (Ladies & Gentlemen) a porcupine in fancy dress
He says 'Cocktail chances are the best'
Don't sleep on the lawn
stay near the harlequin dances and bright lights
lest the dark bamboozles your zest.
What an eager beaver to construe
that one day I'd find dog-dirt on my shoe
Bad luck thick and fast
a Happy Crisis to drink thru and lean on
We don't go outside when the cloud's down
on the citadel sneakers
cos we'll blow our cover someday.
But Peter had a quirk
he didn't have a bag
to put a cat into
or let it out of
like you and me
we got our beards singed in Deadly Fun
making mistakes like we've always done
talking like we were the good guys
But don't be taken in
Cagney had a hat
a gesture of disdain
is aphrodisiac
look at the moon
notions of elixir in the air
prospects of taking the monster share
what a flight of fancy that is
you could just imagine it at your doorstep.
Urban sleepers hardly make a sound
just their nightmares going round and round.
Zeppelins in the dark,
no, they're not real - it's a metamorphosis
from a state of gusto to fear.
a Monster Parody
in a pleasing form
a nuance of lampoon
like we said before
look at the sky,
they’re making eyes at us in the moon
taking our minds off the old jazz tune
leading us out on the dark path.
War waits like a tethered balloon
Straining at the wires hungry for the harsh blue moon.
a cartoon of machines and men
win or lose we'll never see the end
ghosts on a blue screen
teach us a science they don't understand quite
don't turn up the sound
keep out the cold from the radio whispers
here's a happy crisis
Hitler's on the wireless
animal or metal?
animal or metal?
modern voices, modern voices
Hitler's on the wireless right now...
