Spacehog - Mungo City lyrics

rate me

(Royston Langdon)

*Mungo City is mentioned here in reference to the science-fiction film, Flash Gordon where the character Ming the Merciless ruled. Lucille Ball states about the film, "The set design looked like a nightmare you have after eating too much Chinese food."*

Welcome to this empty ministry of plenty

As I'm sure you know

We're clearly on display here

To remind you should you stray from here

Or decide to roam

Dossers dream of gossamer

And kissing with tongues

Well, they're falling in love with anyone

Races from all places through all from under one sun,

well it sure was no fun

So I got up and ran, ran, ran from Mungo City

Mungo City- Where are you?

You make us grey when skies are blue

Mungo City, in the sky

Keeps a watchful eye on you and I

Don't think you're even thinking

Even though you're thinking: keep it underground

They're sending out distress codes

And playing with you're mind though

You won't hear a sound

Nazis in the Japanese cars from Japan

Well, they're falling in love if only they can

I'm telling you the tribesman wouldn't stand for this, man

Well, it sure was no scam

So I got up and ran, ran, ran from Mungo City

Mungo City- Where are you?

You make us grey when skies are blue

Mungo City, in the sky

Keeps a weather eye on you tonight
