LOLLIPOP BOMB

Darling monster,
sweety-pie..
my mind is wandering sadly I
must walk into the reeds`
terribly corroded and
the saints have crumbled into sand
they will not intercede

And I carress the velvet hand grenade
my part is played and yes-
the windows are steamy
so no-one can see me

I lick the Lollipop Bomb
I lick the Lollipop Bomb

hark the hot valkyries cry
their flaxen hair and crazy eyes
they come at last for me
honey angel
baby lamb
I am not what you think I am
and i will never be

and I will dally in the sullen glade
I’m not afraid
of al that I will be streaming
at twilight’s last gleaming

I lick the Lollipop Bomb
I lick the Lollipop Bomb

tho I was galloping along
I read all the portents wrong
the Golden Age could never last that long

we are not brave we are not free
and yet somehow, remarkably,
are able to apall
this thinning crowd
here in this place
the baffled looks upon their faces
really says it all

and I will freak out when the time arrives
it’s very clear to me
that life is a long song and
I sang the wrong one

I lick the Lollipop Bomb
I lick the Lollipop Bomb
I lick the Lollipop Bomb
I lick the Lollipop Bomb
