Shriekback - Nemesis lyrics

rate me

In the jungle of the senses<br />

Tinker Bell and Jack The Ripper<br />

Love has no meaning not where they come from<br />

But we know pleasure is not that simple<br />

<br />

Very little, fruit is forbidden<br />

Sometimes we wobble, sometimes we're strong<br />

But you know evil is an exact science<br />

Being carefully, correctly, wrong<br />

<br />

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />

Everybody's happy as the dead come home<br />

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis<br />

No one move a muscle as the dead come home<br />

<br />

We feel like Greeks we feel like Romans<br />

Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us<br />

We drink elixirs that we refine<br />

From the juices of the dying<br />

<br />

We are not monsters, we're moral people<br />

And yet we have the strength to do this<br />

This is the splendor of our achievement<br />

Call in the air strike with a poison kiss<br />

<br />

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />

Everybody's happy as the dead come home<br />

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis<br />

No one move a muscle as the dead come home<br />

<br />

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />

Everybody's happy as the dead come home<br />

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis<br />

No one move a muscle as the dead come home<br />

<br />

How bad it gets, you can't imagine<br />

The burning wax, the breath of reptiles<br />

God is not mocked, He knows His business<br />

Karma could take us at any moment<br />

<br />

Cover Him up, I think we're finished<br />

You know it's never been so exotic<br />

But I don't know, my dreams are visions<br />

We could still end up with the great big fishes<br />

<br />

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />

Everybody's happy as the dead come home<br />

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis<br />

No one move a muscle as the dead come home<br />

<br />

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />

Everybody's happy as the dead come home<br />

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis<br />

No one move a muscle as the dead come home<br />

<br />

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />

Everybody's happy as the dead come home<br />

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis<br />

No one move a muscle as the dead come home<br />

<br />

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />

Everybody's happy
