[Verse 1]

The day is long, there is no morning

I touch on nothing but the romance of shame

I may go up with nothing to excite

But a scent that may escape

With my Dracula binocular I turn away to flee

With a shrunken eye and a shrunken dream

[Verse 2]

With legislation blasted, with language that is bad

Adaptable relatives reform

Distant from the nation, honouring the body

Staying in bed to win a seat

The day is long, there is no morning

[Verse 3]

Flagged when aboard, exhausting my patience

Getting to the end of this

Looking for offense, sensitive to mess

I find a body part in a fish

[Refrain]

In a fish

In a fish

In a fish

In a fish

[Verse 4]

Expelled with ill will the girl lost all momentum

Circling imaginary mountains

She sees what’s left and sees what’s left behind

[Outro]

The day is long, there is no morning

The day is long, there is no morning

The day is long, there is no morning
