We'll wake up and smell the coffee
God counts them in, three by three
rainbow children dancing free
forbidden fruit unfamiliar to Eve
the arc is leaving for the sinful to drown
so bring on the clowns, the jugglers
and actors, luvvies, lovers of flesh
summon them to entertain us
with original sin and panache
we set sail tomorrow at sunset
to wake in the morning to the smell
of coffee and angels burning
burning in Hell

summon them to entertain us
with original sin and panache
we set sail tomorrow at sunset
to wake in the morning to the smell
of coffee and angels burning
burning in Hell
