Brian Eno - King's Lead Hat Lyrics
Lyrics in parentheses are sung in parallel with main lyricDark alley (dark alley) black starFour turkeys in a big black carThe road is shiny (bright shine) the wheels slideFour turkeys going for a dangerous rideThe lacquer crackles (black tar) the engines roarA ship was turning broadside to the shoreSplish splash I was raking in the cashThe biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface (ooh)Kings lead hat put the innocence inside her, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeKings lead hat was a mother to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeIn new delhi (smelly delhi) and hong kongThey all know that it wont be longI count my fingers (digit counter) as night fallsAnd draw bananas on the bathroom wallsThe killer cycles (humdrum) the killer hertzThe passage of my life is measured out in shirtsTime and motion (motion carried) time and tideAll I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my sideKings lead hat put the poker in the fire, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeKings lead hat was a mother to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeThe weapons ready (ready freddy) the guns purrThe satellite distorts his voice to a slurHe gives orders (finger pie) which no one hearsThe kings hat fits over their earsHe takes his modicate (indecipherable) cold turpentineHe tries to dial out 999999999He dials reception (moving finger) hes all aloneHes just a victim of the telephoneKings lead hat made the amazon much wider, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeKings lead hat put the poker in the fire, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeKings lead hat was a mother to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeKings lead hat put the innocence inside her, it will come, it will come, it will surely comeKings lead hat was a hammer to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come.
