lyrics

So you come with a gift of flowers
And you kneel
But your flowers are bleeding
And they shriek in tiny flower voices
So the head, the giant head
Opens its eyes
And it turns its gaze on you
And it open its giant mouth
Perhaps to curse you
Ands its breath is very bad
And it speaks for the first time in a thousand years
And the words that it says are in a language
No-one has ever heard

Gotta crack the code
Separate the signal from the noise

Get in that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans
Write it down, draw a diagram
Find the patttern, there has to be
Something in there that you can understand

Wait, I think I got it
And the giant head says:

Goodbye sun
Goodbye rain
Goodbye friends
Goodbye pain
Goodbye dark
Goodbye earth
Goodbye dragonflies
Goodbye shadows
Goodbye radio
Goodbye sea
Goodbye dreams
Goodbye smoke
Goodbye dogs
Goodbye wind
Goodbye...
