Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television offSitting beside you, I look into your eyesAs the sound of motorcars fades in the night timeI swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite rightAnd it's hello babe, with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby, don't you know our love is trueComing closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodiesOut in the garden, the moon seems very brightSix saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowlyThe seventh walks in front with a cross held high in handAnd it's hey babe your supper's waiting for youHey my baby, don't you know our love is true?I've been so far from hereFar from your warm armsIt's good to feel you againIt's been a long long timeHasn't it? I know a farmer who looks after the farmWith water clear, he cares for all his harvestI know a fireman who looks after the fireYou, can't you see he's fooled you allYes, he's here againCan't you see he's fooled you all?Share his peace, sign the leaseHe's a supersonic scientistHe's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary manLook, look into my mouth he criesAnd all the children lost down many pathsI bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in handGland in gland With a spoonful of miracleHe's the guaranteed eternal sanctuaryWe will rock you, rock you little snakeWe will keep you snug and warmWearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a restWe walked across the fields to see the children of the WestBut we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the groundWaiting for battleThe fight's begun, they've been releasedKilling foe for peace, bang, bang, bangBang, bang, bangAnd they've given me a wonderful potion'Cause I cannot contain my emotionAnd even though I'm feeling goodSomething tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsuleToday's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fateThe order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlordWandering in the chaos the battle has leftWe climb up the mountain of human fleshTo a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of lifeA young figure sits still by a poolHe's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery toolHe is youSocial Security took care of this ladWe watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flowerA flower? If you go down to Willow FarmTo look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterfliesOpen your eyes, it's full of surpriseEveryone lies like the fox on the rocksAnd the musical boxOh, there's Mum and Dad, and good and badAnd everyone's happy to be hereThere's Winston Churchill dressed in dragHe used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a dragThe frog was a princeThe prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird (Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) Hadn't you heard? (they're going to change you into a human being!) Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geeseAnd wonderfully clean in the morningWe've got everything, we're growing everythingWe've got some in, we've got some out We've got some wild things floating about Everyone, we're changing everyoneYou name them all, we've had them hereAnd the real stars are still to appear(All change!) Feel your body meltMum to mud to mad to dad Dad diddley office, Dad diddley officeYou're all full of ballDad to dam to dumb to mum Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washingYou're all full of ballLet me hear your lies, we're living this up to the eyesOoh, aah, na-na-na Momma I want you nowAnd as you listen to my voiceTo look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applauseYou've been here all the timeLike it or not, like what you gotYou're under the soil (the soil, the soil)Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil!)So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang And all of us fit in our placesWith the guards of Magog, swarming aroundThe Pied Piper takes his children undergroundDragons coming out of the seaShimmering silver head of wisdom looking at meHe brings down the fire from the skiesYou can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyesBetter not compromise, it won't be easy666 is no longer aloneHe's getting out the marrow in your backboneAnd the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and rollGonna blow right down inside your soulPythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moonIn blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand-new tuneAnd it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blueHey my baby, don't you know our love is true?I've been so far from here, far from your loving armsNow I'm back againAnd babe, it's gonna work out fineCan't you feel our souls ignite?Shedding ever-changing coloursIn the darkness of the fading nightLike the river joins the oceanAs the germ in a seed grows We have finally been freed to get back homeThere's an angel standing in the sunAnd he's crying with a loud voice"This is the supper of the mighty one"Lord of Lords, King of KingsHas returned to lead his children homeTo take them to the new Jerusalem
