Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the eve of the ninth moon
The world's on fire
Michael and his angels
Versus the dragon
Icarus is falling
Tempting faith
Nothing to hold onto
Against the dying light
[Chorus]
Carry the milk or pierce the body with
Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers
Altered organ function
Computers, democracy and nervous disorder
[PostChorus]
Swords and machine guns
Flowers and feathers
Altered organ function
Nervous disorder
[Verse 2]
It's two minutes to midnight
In the garden of delight
And do androids dream
Of electric sheep?
Barrels are burning
Great art will be destroyed
The sleeping beauty
Of the wasteland
[Chorus]
Carry the milk or pierce the body with
Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers
Altered organ function
Computers, democracy and nervous disorder
[Instrumental]
(Swords and machine guns)
Swords and machine guns
(Flowers and feathers)
Flowers and feathers
(Altered organ function)
Altered organ function
(Nervous disorder)
Nervous disorder
[Chorus]
Carry the milk or pierce the body with
Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers
Altered organ function
Computers, democracy and nervous disorder (Nervous disorder)
[PostChorus]
Swords and machine guns
(Swords and machine guns)
Flowers and feathers
(Flowers and feathers)
Altered organ function
(Altered organ function)
Nervous disorder
(Nervous disorder)
