From the mountains to the oceans
From the deserts to the poles
From the beginning to the end
We give thanks to our saviours
Hail the lizard people!
Prince Philip, Obama’s guard
Pyramid building, Lemuria
Shadow kingdom, reptile eyes
Majestically they stride
Hail the lizard people!
We obey We obey
Shape-shifting, flesh-eating
Blood-drinking, manipulating
All seeing, mind controlling
Hail the lizard people!

Take a trip down memory lane
Back to a day that never dawned
Getting back to how it never was
Mistake nostalgia for reality
A made up history of a made up time
That no-one will ever find again
Bring back hanging bring back the cane
National service and backbreaking work
The food was bad but tasted good
The house was cold but coal was cheap
And like your dreams of yesterday
Your vision of the past is a fantasy

Tell me about:
How you’d like to be an acrobat
The secret life of your cat
Where you bought your favourite hat
A chair in which you once sat
No, don't tell me
I don't want to hear
Your lifelong fear of kangeroos
The year you spent in Kathmandu
The illustrious history of cobalt blue
How you once got drunk on homebrew
No, don't tell me
I don't want to hear
How you write romantic literature
The book you read about acupuncture
Your biggest ever blister
How I’m such a good listener
Don't tell me, please don't tell me
I don't want to know
No!

Here before here again,
here until the never end
Knock knock on eternity's door,
then find out you've been there before
I don't know much but do know this
the shape of the universe is hard to guess
Unheard lyric:
What goes around, comes around
But some things never stop coming around
Please be quiet.
