歌詞

In the archipelago
The beetles dance apace
Each heavy exoskeleton
A holy carapace
Like bishops in their bishoprics
Intruders in the nave
Sacrilege their diocese
Vandals at the gate
Like creatures of the forest
Or secrets of the brain
The actors in the newsreel
Never explain
The pilot’s introspection
In the darkened aeroplane
The trickle of the lipstick
The babble of the sane
The spooling scree of fiction
The bobbin of the film
The rough and ready pottery
Rotating in its kiln
The steeplejack remembering
The chimneys he's been in
The ice cubes in the whisky
The lemon in the gin
Black earth under pine trees
Fircones on the stone
Gas in the volcano
Parodies back home
Serpentine confetti
A tickertape parade
It’s never been less risky
But never more afraid
The massive gate is open
The fountain choked with leaves
Arguing in English
But killing in Chinese
Encouragement and friendship
And the musty smell of beer
Losing all the battles
But winning the war
The murder of the lapdog
The mishap on the lake
The man who loved his wife too much
To realise his mistake
The painter trying to capture
The way his dream begins
The ice cubes in the whisky
The lemon in the gin
My apprentice devil
Swaggers on a horse
Swearing by the jaguar
He’ll kill you with a curse
When he flicks the switches
Extinguishing the stars
He darkens all the universe
And gallops back to Mars
The bozo’s summer holiday
The chandeliers that clink
The seventeenth commandment
Commanding us to drink
Black earth under pine trees
Back where we begin
Ice cubes in the whisky
Lemon in the gin
