Senses Working Overtime - XTC
Hey hey
The clouds are whey
There's straw for the donkeys
And the innocents can all sleep safely
All sleep safely
My my
Sun is pie
There's fodder for the cannons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All sleep safely
And all the world is football shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see hear smell touch taste
And I've got one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
'Tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime
Hey hey
Night fights day
There's food for the thinkers
And the innocents can all live slowly
All live slowly
My my
The sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty
And the guilty one's can all die slowly
All die slowly
And all the world is biscuit shaped
It's just for me to feed my face
And I can see hear smell touch taste
And I've got one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
'Tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime
And birds might fall from black skies
And bullies might give you black eyes
But to me it's very very beautiful
Beautiful
(a striking beauty )
And all the world is football shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see hear smell touch taste
And I've got one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to tell the difference
'Tween the goods and crimes
Dirt or treasure
And there's one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one two three four five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
'Tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime
