Hey, hey,<br>The clouds are whey.<br>There's straw for the donkeys,<br>And the innocents can all sleep safely,<br>All sleep safely.<br><br>My, my,<br>Sun is pie.<br>There's fodder for the cannons,<br>And the guilty ones can all sleep safely,<br>All sleep safely.<br><br>And all the world is football-shaped<br>It's just for me to kick in space<br>And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste<br>And I've got one, two, three, four, five<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to take this all in.<br>I've got one, two, three, four, five<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to taste the difference<br>'tween a lemon and a lime<br>Pain and the pleasure<br>And the church bells softly chime.<br><br>Hey hey,<br>Night fights day.<br>There's food for the thinkers,<br>And the innocents can all live slowly,<br>All live slowly.<br>My, my,<br>The sky will cry<br>Jewels for the thirsty,<br>And the guilty one's can all die slowly ,<br>All die slowly.<br><br>And all the world is biscuit-shaped,<br>It's just for me to feed my face,<br>And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,<br>And I've got one, two, three, four, five,<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to take this all in.<br>I've got one, two, three, four, five,<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to taste the difference,<br>'tween a lemon and a lime,<br>Pain and the pleasure,<br>And the church bells softly chime,<br><br>And birds might fall from black skies,<br>And bullies might give you black eyes,<br>But to me it's very, very beautiful ¡¦<br>(england's glory!)<br>Beautiful ¡¦<br>(a striking beauty!)<br><br>And all the world is football-shaped,<br>It's just for me to kick in space,<br>And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,<br>And I've got one, two, three, four, five,<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to take this all in<br>I've got one, two, three, four, five<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to tell the difference<br>'tween the goods and grime<br>Turds and treasure<br>And there's one, two, three, four, five<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to take this all in<br>I've got one, two, three, four, five<br>Senses working overtime<br>Trying to taste the difference<br>'tween a lemon and a lime<br>Pain and the pleasure,<br>And the church bells softly chime.
