lyrics
THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY MATTERS
Go remove them all away
We were singing like a date
It went down on topic covered looming…
Hell…
It was over by the lake
He went down the water gate
Crossed the stile to the everlasting chamber.
Comin’ up the road this crooked man
Went down the olden way
While the ships give off the traveler has a questions.
O from which way come do you?
Is this no way to speak to
Your Honour or a holder of a banquet?
Won’t you sit and have a brew?
Why your all the lovers who
Pass a Tuesday; they’re all packed up for the long haul.
So we sat and talked of this
Over pale ale morning mist
Like a wagon broken down onto the valley.
Wet and willis dew
Like the rain that gave a chill.
Are we taken through a mire and miasma?
Where do you go?
Where, where, where will you go?
Like a tyrant on the day whereas you move you’ve like a morning was a weight become a waning gale all waiting for the now.
Where do you like a lover off to bed without an iron all night airtight worm.
He wants it for all lives that you’ve been taken.
Like he’ll sell it on a lie ‘bout your wasting you a time on top a wilting we can Christmas in the dark.
Are we waiting for a time
When a mystic like a mic
Drew awaiting for a person with a mo bone.
[solo]
Where do you like a lover go to bed will tie his hair back.
Do you like it all to Tigris where it’s slipping in the sea
Writing to Ali with a meaning falling fast!
O alive!
You were waiting for the bliss but you dig yourself a blister.
Y’Dupe!
Knight day seeker lord, REPENT!
YES!
What the hell was that?
