Eyes that glow like cigarettes with ashtrays underneath

The Tyro bites his fingernails to show his ugly teeth

Braying like a donkey, laughing like a sneeze

The Tyro's heart's a dynamo that churns like a disease

All the laughing elementals exploding in their seats

Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets

The Tyro sits at zero while the child within him screams

A bush of hardy berries, a shudder through the trees

Mechanical as captains in cyclopean wars

Where foxes banish lions and prophets lie with whores

The Tyro is a mess, massive and immense

As civilisation's discontents

The laughing elementals exploding in their seats

Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets

Grinning while deliberately standing on your foot

The Tyro is a Brombroosh and an idiot to boot

Purposeless in masquerade, with England on his breath

Stuck between Cept and Megaloplinth

All the laughing elementals exploding in their seats

Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets

The Tyro sits at zero while the child within him screams

A bush of hardy berries, a shudder through the trees

Mechanical as captains in cyclopean wars

Where foxes banish lions and prophets lie with whores

The Tyro is a mess, massive and immense

As civilisation's discontents

All the laughing elementals exploding in their seats

Mechanical as puppets, brash as parakeets

The Tyro sits at zero while the child within him screams

A bush of hardy berries, a shudder through the trees

The Tyro sits at zero while the child within him screams

A bush of hardy berries, a shudder through the trees
