Mongooses Lyrics by The Sheikhs

Dromedary

2017

Of all the things I ever learnt I don’t remember a thing

Of all the things I ever learnt I don’t remember a thing
Except the warm metallic taste a sudden beating brings
Lying in the sun, people form an ant-like crowd
Waiting for another egg to crack open on the ground

For every action unequal & opposite reaction
Shall be the sum total of yr mis-education
Entropy increases but some things never change
Exceptions to established laws are soon made to blow away

Mongooses unroll these corridors
Mongooses patrol these grounds
Mongooses control these sacred halls
Unsight, unspoke, unsound

The serpent's curious tree
Whacked by the mongeese of our tradition
This imposture of hysterical facts
Forever stalking our current position
Tears fall from the whitened faces
Of the legion of counting machines
So eager to carve their places
At the cliff's edge of this completion scene

Of all the things I ever learnt I don’t remember a thing
