The Horrors - Draw Japan lyrics

Butcher the paper with a ravenous pen,

Carving out trees and scoring skin

Animals too placed in plastic cages,

Carted around these filthy pages

I will draw Japan, I will draw Japan, hey

Spectres holding sceptres with fingers thin,

Empty vessels asserting, we are still King,

We are still King

Black stuff running like nosebleed danger

Swarming towards the source of the noise

I will draw Japan, with fervent hands, hey

Black cells depict a foreign land, I draw Japan

Sleeping city emits no sound, in this compound

No beast awalks in this compound

No beast awalks in this compound

I will draw Japan with a ravenous pen,

Hungry for oil and iron and tin

To your left a concrete factory,

Smoke billows, fists punch, Victory!

And my hands start shaking, and Japan starts shaking

And I begin to draw out Japan in the shape of a man

Seen rushing through a market town, through the compound

No beast awalks in this compound

No beast awalks in this compound

No beast awalks in this compound

No beast awalks in this compound
