Wire Lyrics

"A Serious Of Snakes" lyrics


It looks serious, is that a paper I see in your hand?
Then a pause for a German phrase, "Nie weider nie weider, nie weider nie weider"
Never again, none of your lip, y'tulip
Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig, y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake
I'd rather make furniture than go to midnight mass

Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

He's a genius in research, I simply fell in love, I've got your zip code?
Other there USA, green-turbaned angels annex the right bank
Baby, in a shambolic sideshow they abandoned the baby
Baby trained, baby returns, baby kills Mary and Joseph

Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

Talk about laughing, I might be defeated cancer, or so they say
Electrocuted I was transformed into a foot soldier of the good general
Passionate for knights in the heart of ancient Persia, fearless to go forth
Fearless to adapt, then blow to pieces

Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

Please send your God my very best wishes, does He still sing?
Does He still fish, does He still help you on your days off?
Don't stopping that dripping, I prefer the old tortures
It's only when you stop that I feel it

Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

When you lose the ship, it's like losing a part of you
I have a sense of my exposure, it's all on the neg
I try to use 2 instead of 3, ah, but I have secrets
And there's a story in me, it starts
