GORMENGHAST AND THE NAKED PSYCHO UNICORNS (2014)
--J. Wrabek
1.
They’re revolting at the palace, they don’t care if there’s a prize,
They cut the faces out of the picture books ‘cause they didn’t like the eyes;
The Arctic ocean’s rising, the seawall wasn’t built,
And the train’s still on the siding ‘cause the engineer was killed.
CHORUS:
Gormenghast, you were so pretty when the world was young and flat,
But the samovars of change were brewing—you weren’t expecting that;
And now your gaudy chimps have chewed apart your trampoline,
And the naked psycho unicorns won’t bring you back to me.
2.
The owls up in the tower aren’t delivering the mail;
The library’s on fire, the textbooks are in jail;
Your old guitar is lying broke in pieces on the floor—
It used to make ‘em laugh, but they don’t want that any more.
CHORUS:
Gormenghast, you were so pretty when the world was young and flat,
But the samovars of change were brewing—you weren’t expecting that;
And now your gaudy chimps have chewed apart your trampoline,
And the naked psycho unicorns won’t bring you back to me.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (CHORUS CHORDS)
3.
Outside, the world’s on fire, the animals in flight;
There’s no walls and there’s no servants, and the fish ain’t tasting right;
The beggars on your doorstep are still asking what to do—
They were looking for a leader, and you said it wasn’t you.
CHORUS:
Gormenghast, you were so pretty when the world was young and flat,
But the samovars of change were brewing—you weren’t expecting that;
And now your gaudy chimps have chewed apart your trampoline,
And the naked psycho unicorns won’t bring you back to me.
BRIDGE (CHORUS CHORDS):
They’ll be fighting for succession, while the roof is caving in;
You never knew the outside world, and now you never can;
No point in your recanting, while the waters rise below—
All you had to give was memories, and no one’s needing those.
CHORUS:
Gormenghast, you were so pretty when the world was young and flat,
But the samovars of change were brewing—you weren’t expecting that;
And now your gaudy chimps have chewed apart your trampoline,
And the naked psycho unicorns won’t bring you back to me.
