lyrics

Did you hear the word on the ground?
Cover your ears and don't make a sound
The devil's found work for these soft idle hands
Up from the depths and all over the land

Out from the mast and from inside the caves
A nuclear blast and it's coming in waves
Slipped through the cracks of your favourite tune
So turn me on dead man and howl at the moon

Up on the hill there were fires in the sky
Dancing in time and with light in their eyes
Paradise Lost or just something Divine
A comedy played just for these tiny minds

Did you see the shape on the screen?
Trying to catch the ghost in the machine
Turning to see if the truth casts a spell
The heads are all spinning to Tubular Bells

Pick up the card as it falls to the floor
And please stop me now if you've heard it before
A man in the room has an ace up his sleeve
And friends down below that you wouldn't believe

Up on the hill there were fires in the sky
Dancing in time and with light in their eyes
Paradise Lost or just something Divine
A comedy played just for these tiny minds
