When the world was travelling faster and faster 'til colours became just a blur And the buildings were falling plaster from plaster 'til things just weren't what they were
What could save mankind from man When the blind, the blind overran From the seed of confused devestation Came the great spontaneous apple creation
And a speck in the sky grew to a cloud And fishes flew and laughed aloud And hamsters grew wings and flew out the doors And rich wine was sweated from every man's pores And three thousand people ate one strawberry
And the cloud grew green and pushed out a stalk And the chairs grew swing boots and started to walk And the strong silent ones began to talk And three million people told butter from Stork
And the cloud grew greener and greener and harder 'Til it demanded all those there of something from the larder And suddenly it was there and in each and every land Each man, beast and creature had an apple in his hand And from that day came a new recreation The great spontaneous apple creation
What could save mankind from man When the blind, the blind overran From the seed of confused devestation Came the great spontaneous apple creation
