Lyrics
“Do what the voices say
Do what the voices say”
I ain t quite right
Gonna bury me at night
I was never very bright but this I know
It’s a mighty plan
Way to stick it to the man
In this tragic little span
You can t say no
See the whole dam’ street
start to give in to the meat
Watch em underneath the sheets
They re all aglow
We re action packed
Try and catch us in the act
Some the distortion to the facts
(the strain don’t show)
Running with the mothmen, mothmen mothmen
Running with the mothmen ( half –incinerated)
Running with the mothmen, mothmen, mothmen
Running with the mothmen (over stmulated)
Come feel the fear with the liquid engineer
If he s all that he appears
Why not say so?
Quite precise
That unnatural device
Was a so much nicer way to go
Running with the mothmen, mothmen mothmen
Running with the mothmen ( half –incinerated)
Running with the mothmen, mothmen, mothmen
Running with the mothmen (over stmulated)
“ Do what the voices say
down where the light don’t shine
mad as a bag of cats
down where the dogs won’t stray”
the truth we can reveal
has a very wide appeal
like a human conger eel
that don’t let go
tried to colonise the place
with marzipan and mace
we’ll get right into your face
but its all show
The Gaderine swine are favourites of mine
You gotta recognise the signs
and just say no
I don’t t know how
Its contaminated now
Its an aspect of the Dao
For all I know
You gotta shed that dread
As the Revelator said
Youre a long time dead
And he should know
Running with the mothmen, mothmen mothmen
Running with the mothmen ( half –incinerated)
Running with the mothmen, mothmen, mothmen
Running with the mothmen (over stmulated)
“ do what the voices say
down where the light don’t shine
mad as a bag as cats
down where the dogs won’t stray”
