lyrics

Split a tangerine in the desert
Home then
Photos curled and brown

And the soldier turned around,
turned looking for the flag of red
Everybody shout it: Tally ho!

And they’ll not be satisfied
Until they drop the genius bomb
When the mocking siren sounds
No need to hide

Nimbostratus
The death for me
Oboes offstage
Polished olive wood

And you let them thrash around
the garden with their megaphones
All the local satraps
cut their own pop tunes

Split a girl's heart
Wrapped in bandages
A red fan
Loved one never came back

Venetian cloudburst
With blinds drawn,
Smoke the morning away
A body lives,
Barely inching along
Mild vertigo
(as below)

If man were free
He’d go way beyond the stars
Consume a thousand jars
