Peepholes - Earthling

The monk of chaos said he’ll play us a cassette*

That he made with Amadeus but we haven’t heard it yet

I suspect that he’s mad-wrecked on that stuff that I wrote him

Now it’ll take at least all week to unfold him

I told him

Slow down you’re burning more than nitro-glycerine

He wasn’t listening so now he’s stoned magnificent

See he went at it like an addict mad manic

Amsterdamic, don’t know what it is but he’s looking at it

We just come & go

Like reindeers in the snow

But they don’t see us though

We’re one & two like stereo

The sister of the lord she’s on her skateboard I see her

Flying down the corridors as she does her chores

360 degrees off the railings, she’s abseiling

She meta-morphs into an alien

And now she’s down in St. Martin’s crypt

She’s putting words to Beethoven’s 5th in the style of Patti Smith

I can still see were we used to live

We haven’t gone far enough

We just come & go

Like reindeers in the snow

But they don’t see us though

We’re one & two like stereo

We just come & go

Like peepholes in the snow

But they don’t see us though

We’re one & two like stereo
