GENESIS - Squonk lyrics

rate me

Like father like son<br>Not flesh nor fish nor bone<br>A red rag hangs from an open mouth.<br>Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle,<br>A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go.<br>All the king's horses and all the king's men<br>Could never put a smile on that face.<br><br>He's a sly one, he's a shy one<br>Wouldn't you be too.<br>Scared to be left all on his own.<br>Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with, the ugly duckling<br>The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes.<br>All the while in perfect time<br>His tears are falling on the ground<br>But if you don't stand up you don't stand a chance.<br><br>Go a little faster now, you might get there in time.<br><br>Mirror mirror on the wall,<br>His heart was broken long before he ever came to you.<br>Stop your tears from falling,<br>The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night<br>All to see at night.<br><br>In season, out of season<br>What's the difference when you don't know the reason.<br>In one hand bread, the other a stone.<br>The hunter enters the forest.<br>All are not huntsmen who can blow the huntsman's horn<br>By the look of this one you've not got much to fear.<br><br>Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening<br>Come to match my skill to yours.<br>Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now<br>I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you.<br>Making noises my little furry friend would make<br>I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack.<br>You better watch out... you better watch out.<br><br>I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away.<br><br>Walking home that night<br>The sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder.<br>When suddenly it stopped,<br>I opened up the sack, all that I had<br>A pool of bubbles and tears - just a pool of tears.<br><br>All in all you are a very dying race<br>Placing trust upon a cruel world.<br>You never had the things you thought you should have had<br>And you'll not get them now,<br>And all the while in perfect time<br>Your tears are falling on the ground.<br><br>The squonk is of a very retiring disposition and due to it's ugliness, weeps constantly. it is easy prey for hunters who simply follow a tear-stained trail. when cornered it will dissolve itself<br>Tears.<br>True or false?
