I am the man from the planet Marzipan
|
Good to see you
|
My eyes are screwed up tight, unaccustomed to the light
|
And all my arms and all my legs are much too long
|
Much too long
|
|
My head is in a state, unaccustomed to the weight
|
I wear this mild expression, I'm an alien to aggression
|
Music only does me in my skins so thin
|
|
There's so much that I can't take in
|
There's so much that I can't take in
|
There's so much that I daren't take in
|
|
Can you feel through my skin to me?
|
Can you feel through my skin to me?
|
|
Throw a tarpaulin over me
|
I look like a rotary washing line
|
I am the face of 2069
|
I have trouble with my breathing
|
My net-curtain lungs
|
And the thoughtlessness of other people's careless tongues
|
|
The air's so thin
|
Oh my skin
|
The air's so thin
|
Oh my skin
|
|
I am the man from the planet Marzipan
|
My eyes are screwed up tight, unaccustomed to the light
|
I wear this mild expression, I'm an alien to aggression
|
|
The air's so thin
|
Oh my skin
|
Oh my skin..
|
|
I'm so close..
|
I'm so close to a breakdown
|
A constant crisis in the heart
|
|
What the hell is going on here?
|
Earth creatures. Amazing, beautiful and mad.
|
Monkeys trying to be stars
|
Monkeys carrying their Gods around
|
Lies and murder in the name of heaven
|
Seen it all before in the kindergartens of the Universe
|
It would be quaint if it wasn't so damned scary
|
|
I can't listen and I can't watch
|
I can see inside the machine
|
I can see the join! I can see the join.
|
|
Can you feel through my skin to me?
|
Can you see through my skin?
|
It's all here in my skin, you see
|
It's all here in my skin,
|
Here in my skin!
|
|
If you really look
|
It's a nursery book.
