Maniacs Lyrics

You and I

We were of the same first clay

Before we breathed

Before dust butterflies

Orchard shade

Da Vinci Chopin Faraday

Those vapour notes that swirled and seethed

We the bubbles curled with colour

Watched the melody of elemental scars

Tear blank spaces

Into armour and angry faces

How soon we claimed the Moon and bothered Mars

How strong the wanton singalong

I was waiting by the train tracks

For to lighten up the gunny sacks

What the Mrs needs the Mr lacks

Oh waiting waiting waiting by the train tracks

Then the younger ones with stronger backs

A truck had stopped

And in they hopped

I'm a sheep surviving wolf attacks

Oh waiting waiting waiting by the train tracks

Eager to fund the maniacs

This opportunity

Not for you

There's a community

With a view

Make a wish

And it won't itch

Much

It's a day for disaffection

Though it's not my place to mention

One blazing morn without protection

Just waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting

The midday sun is frying old folks

But the field is full of artichokes

And there's a line of fitter hungry blokes

So I'm waiting waiting waiting by the train tracks

Eager to fund the maniacs
