I was run over by the truth one day. Ever since the accident I've walked this way
Heard the alarm clock screaming with pain, Couldn't find myself so I went back to sleep again
Every time I shut my eyes all I see is flames. Made a marble phone book and I carved out all the names
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains. They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
Where were you at the time of the crime? Down by the Cenotaph drinking slime
You put your bombers in, you put your conscience out, You take the human being and you twist it all about
So scrub my skin with women Chain my tongue with whisky Stuff my nose with garlic Coat my eyes with butter Fill my ears with silver Stick my legs in plaster Tell me lies about Vietnam.
