Shriekback - Nemesis (The Dancing Years) lyrics
rate meNemesis<br />
<br />
In a jungle of the senses<br />
Tinkerbell and Jack the ripper<br />
Love has no meaning, not where they come from<br />
But we know pleasure is not that simple<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 />
Chorus<br />
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />
Everybody 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 />
We are no monsters, we're moral people<br />
and yet we have the strength to do this<br />
This is the splendour of our achievement<br />
Call in the airstrike with a poison kiss<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />
Everybody 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 our business<br />
Karma could take us at any moment<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 vicious<br />
We could still end up with the great big fishes<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals<br />
Everybody happy as the dead come home<br />
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis<br />
No-one move a muscle as the dead come home
