Head of State Lyrics

Morning caught me spinning plates

Heavy weather, seven gates

Arduinna calls my name, saying

Where's our long-lost head of state?

See the spectre, see his shape

Leaves miasma in his wake

Carved and polished, he denigrates

He's a long lost head of state

As the penny drops, the rage will flow

Steady as it goes, flooding all we know

Rolling over gently sloping green vales

Midday caught me unawares

Flipping through these sad affairs

Signed petition, empty chaired

See your long-lost head of state

See your long-lost head of state

As the penny drops, the rage will flow

Steady as it goes, flooding all we know

Rolling over gently sloping green vales

Evening caught me laying low

In the traffic's undertow

Pull me under, take it slow

Take me to my head of state

Breaching water, there she blows

Heed the slaughter, heaven knows

Burn the bridges, knees and toes

And our long lost head of state

And our long lost head of state

And our long lost head of state

And our long lost head of state
