A Serious Of Snakes Lyrics - Wire

It looks serious 

Is that a paper I see in your hand? 

Then a pause for a German phrase 

"Nie wieder nie wieder, nie wieder nie wieder" 

Never again, none of your lip 

Y'tulip, Y'tulip, y'pea brained earwig 

Y'punk, y'silver tongued shnake 

I'd rather make furniture than go to midnight mass 

Y'tulip, y'pea brained earwig 

Y'punk, y'silver tongued snake 

He's a genius in research, I simply fell in love, I've got your ZIP code? 

Over there U.S.A., green turbaned angels annex the right bank 

Baby, in a shambolic sideshow they abandoned the baby 

The baby trained, baby returns, baby kills Mary and Joseph 

Talk about laughing, I might have defeated cancer or so they say 

Electrocuted, I was transformed into a foot soldier of the good general 

Passionate for knights in the heart of ancient Persia 

Fearless to go forth, fearless to adapt then blow to pieces 

Please send your god my very best wishes 

Does he still sing? Does he still fish? 

Does he still help you on your days off? 

Don't stopping that dripping, I prefer the old tortures 

It's only when you stop that I feel it 

When you lose the ship, it's like losing a part of you 

I have a sense of my exposure, it's all on the neg. 

I try to use 2 instead of 3, ah, but I have secrets 

And there's a story in me, it starts 

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot
