The Fatima Mansions

Wilderness On Time

The Fatima Mansions


When my taxi arrives, say that I'm dead,
having swallowed my leg
and come to the bedroom again

Let us begin shrinking the walls
and counting our ears, in sweat, as we crawl
Get me to the wilderness on time

When I look round your eyes
there's a space at the side
where ten more eyes could hide
and they'd squeal when they learned what I mean
Madame Obscene, sweating skulls clean
and my genuine Celticness shines
Oops! It just struck me blind
I'm such a spiritual guy

Get me to the wilderness and bury my leg in some bog
and tell me all about right and wrong
and tell me life is serious and zip up your dress
and get me to the wilderness on time
