Bad Joke

Hey Mr. Kosmokrator
Well how’s business in the sin trade?
In a tizzy on a zipped-up merry-go-round
And it’s feeling like a bad joke
Round and round we go
Tally-ho! Geronimo!
Ho and heave and heave and ho
Like Oh Dae-su
Dazzling is the magic trick
Artisans crafting alibi’s
Moulders of the prototype
From Pleroma and clay
Did you think there were none before you?
I bet you thought were none above you?
Maybe you guessed that none would escape you?
I got a spirit with a wave to catch
A little spirit with a wave to catch
And now I snicker at a bad joke
Round and round we go
Tally-ho! Geronimo!
Ho and heave and heave and ho
Like old Dao Su
Dazzling is the magic trick
Artisans crafting alibi’s
Moulders of the prototype
From Pleroma and clay
If anybody needs me I’ll be chilling with Abraxas
Watching, waiting, laughing off our asses
All the while the treasure gleams but none will never find it
Sucking the cock of the soap opera pirate
It's just a bad joke - This world
Nothing but a bad joke - Your world
It's just a bad joke - This world
Nothing but a bad joke - Your world
If anybody needs me I’ll be chilling with Abraxas
Watching, waiting woah!
Topsy Turvy Hoi Polloi’s
Will fund a foetal fire-lord
Heaving and ho all the while

Crack another top
Slam a fizzy buzz
Hit a hope-full punt
Jack the mother load
Wipe that frown from your face
Blow out the candles on your birthday cake
36 years in the pen
Extra! Extra! Read what we say
You live in the number one happiest place
Statistically you’re ok
You’re OK
Tick another tock
Pick a deadly sin
Scavenge for your worms
In an old boneyard
Amon squeals breaking dawn
Chuckling below and evidently more
Mr. Pig’s leaving the pen
Extra! Extra! Read what we say
You live in the number one happiest place
Statistically you’re ok
Happy Birthday to me..
Happy anniversary
Of the day they tore you from the warmth
Kicking and screaming tryna get back in
Had a hunch the whole thing was a farce
Happy anniversary
Of the day they brought you to the stage
A babe in the woods protagonist
In a movie Kubrick could have made
Statistically you’re ok
(statistically)
Statistically you’re ok
(statistically)
Statistically you’re ok
(statistically)
Extra! Extra! Read what we say..

Well I tuned into the midnight show
Preacher said we all gonna burn
Man that’s ok, yeah that’s alright
But the honcho got some bigger plans
Saw a beggar with the Jesus sign
Said the stars would fall from the sky
Man that’s ok, yeah that’s alright
But I think they’ll stick around for a while
Apologies to you Mr. Benjamin
But I gotta take a rain-check on the brimstone thing
Cos they’re postponing the apocalypse
Condolences to you Mr. Galilei
But their ain’t a hunk-o-dirt light enough to fly
And they’re postponing the apocalypse
Now my girlfriend whispered softly to me
You gotta stand up for what you think is real
Babe that’s ok, yeah that’s alright
But you know the world is already dead
Sing Hallelujah!
Sacrifice and serenade
Kick off your Ragnarök socks
Sing Hallelujah!
Korpernikus and Galilei
Sing Hallelujah yeah!
Apologies to you Mr. Benjamin
But I gotta take a rain-check on the brimstone thing
Cos they’re postponing the apocalypse
Condolences to you Mr. Galilei
But their ain’t a hunk-o-dirt light enough to fly
And they’re postponing the apocalypse
Sing Hallelujah
Sing for the king of plagues
Sing Hallelujah
Korpernikus and Galileio
Sing Hallelujah
Sing for the king of plagues
Sing Hallelujah
Korpernikus and Galilei

Prisoner Of The Clouds

Heavenly he is sparrow gliding through the breeze
Restlessly above the highest peaks
Heavenly he is an aide a prisoner of the clouds
His servitude will hold the house of cards
In another life he was an engineer by trade
The ransom was his wife and child to be
The oldest man alive by now receives no danger pay
The secrets burden heavy on his heart
A tin grouper in a neon ocean
Roving the blue with a helium bulge
A handy-man in his bronze and gold cover-alls
His spanner slips and the bogeyman croaks
Adjust the lens set the gears in motion
Changing the bulb in the moon projector
Setting the time on the precise aperture
And get it right or the bogeyman croaks
And the stars align
As the planets wander
A prisoner of the clouds knows none but only distant lights
Blurry in the darkness of the Earth
And other luminary repair zeppelins might pass by
Their silver paddles shining in the sun
A tin grouper in a neon ocean
Roving the blue with a helium bulge
A handy-man in his bronze and gold cover-alls
His spanner slips and the bogeyman croaks
Adjust the lens set the gears in motion
Changing the bulb on the moon projector
Setting the time on the precise aperture
And get it right or the bogeyman croaks
And the stars align
As the planets wander

Stop Motion Men

All together we sing the cleaning song
There is lots of work to do
Polishing the gaslights
Clipping up the comic strip
Before the fire strikes the ink
All together we sing the cleaning song
Dusting off the soapbox
Rinsing out the ramblings
Winged monkeys drop off pay-checks
To the Chinese Whisperers
All together chime
Recreate the paradigm
Bait up the steel-jaw again
Stare into the eye
That softens suffering light
Punch-man’s performing again
They are stop motion men on a Papier-mâché set
Crypto-humans bare false witness
Moon projectors make eclipses
Holes spit lava, do they really?
In the harbour models shimmy
Actors scramble in the jungle
Relocation camera’s rumble
Battlefield is splayed with dummies
Christ was betrayed by his buddy
NK’s nukes computer graphics
Gaza Strip is cheese and crackers
SS capsized in the papers
Egypt built in the 1780’s
Earthquakes ruptured ancient structures
Just some folklore much of muchness
Fairy wings tossed in the cauldron
Bedtime stories for the children
All together chime
Recreate the paradigm
Bait up the steel-jaw again
Stare into the eye
That softens suffering light
Punch-man’s performing again
