[Verse 1]

Slip from the trees to the dirt to the menace

To the wild to the car, under snow, cut to ribbons

Like a coral to your shin, like a manacle to swing

Fresh from the breast, now a river running fat

To the manor born a rat, to the manor born a flea

To a flood to a drain, now a rubber, now a chain

[Bridge]

I was in the war

You were in the war

[Verse 2]

Plump from the sugar-water pump

With the city at your back to the cannon with a match

From a milk into a mass grave, never mind that, I can take that

Bones in a bowl like a toad-in-the-hole

Take the shape of the mould like a mummy on a pole

And a merry little head, bob around when you're dead

[Bridge]

I was on my knees

You were on your knees

[Chorus]

And no reptiles

Just soft boiled eggs in shirts and ties

Waiting for the flashing green man

Quivering and wobbling just like all the eggs you know

[Bridge]

I'm going to kill a stranger

So don't you be a stranger

[Refrain]

Oh baby, it's alright, it's alright to feel

Like a fat child in a pushchair, old enough to run

Old enough to fire a gun

Oh baby, it's alright, it's alright to feel

Like a fat child in a pushchair, old enough to run

Old enough to fire a gun

Oh baby, it's alright, it's alright to feel

Like a fat child in a pushchair, old enough to run

Old enough to fire a gun

Oh baby, it's alright, it's alright to feel

Like a fat child in a pushchair, old enough to run

Oh, old enough to fire a gun

[Outro]

Just give me this one night, just one night to feel

Like I might be on the right path, the path that takes me home

Wise enough to know myself

Just give me this one night, just one night to feel

Like I might be on the right path (Home)

Old enough to fire a gun

Just give me this one night, just one night to feel

Like I might be on the right path, the path that takes me home

Wise enough to know myself

Just give me this one night, just one night to feel
