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