lyrics

claws from heaven!

blurred vision showing:
branches of trees;
spiny petals of roses;
metallic devices resembling the last culture acquired
and baby greyhounds
the “galgos”

they dance in circles around the opera house
they punish the wind with lethal whipping
they abuse the weather with random swiping
quadruped hands showing no mercy

oh, yeah, next time you`ll learn
some gloomy melody as soundtrack
no more signs of life around
no more awkward sentences
nor smiles nor arrogance

boys, were we naff to boys!
were we naff to old boys!
were we naff to old!
were we naff to...

so the oil is coming, sir
dark matter in the sea, sir
polluted corrupted
vengeance from our sweet lally

it covers the globe with madness
recreates and old illustration
the embrace of modern panthalassa
mattress of dense foam

were we naff to boys!
were we naff to old boys!
were we naff to old!
were we naff to...

the earth is dressed in black
mourning clothes and widow veil
fashioned sunglasses
until it all becomes
a greasy ball
