Metropes

Cocktail parties for the rich and influential
Walking on my hind legs feels unnatural
Talking to the man with a mouth like an asshole
The girl who fucks like a bucket was coming on like a snowball
They killed some kid last night on the night bus
Dropped him off between Euston and King’s Cross
You know I despise violence
You know I can’t make any sense of
All the Jiminy Crickets moaning in the stairwell
They shit themselves, they promise to be faithful
You know I just wanna be famous
You know I just wanna serve a purpose
Follow the spiral staircase down into the station
Who is the source of all this misinformation?
Sex and death chase through my brain
Till I wake up and c-c-come again
The train pulls out of the darkness
I dance out of the tunnel
Numbers which at first seemed random are sequential
They come together like the pieces of a puzzle
Synapse after synapse till the growth is exponential
Talk to the man with a mouth like an asshole
Talk to the man with a mouth like an asshole
Talk to the man with a mouth like an asshole
The girl who fucks like a bucket was coming on like a snowball
Ring the bell, Jim
Ring the bell, Jim
Jim, Jim, J-Jiminy, ring the bell
All is well, Jim
All is well, Jim
Jim, Jim, J-Jiminy, ring the bell
Ring the bell, Jim
Ring the bell, Jim
Jim, Jim, J-Jiminy, ring the bell
All is well, Jim
All is well, Jim
Jim, Jim, J-Jiminy, ring the bell
And when it’s all been said and done
You’ll find it’s all just barely begun
And when it’s all just barely begun
You’ll find it’s all been said and done
On nights like these
All the kids sing ooh and aah
When you’re down on your hands and your knees
You don’t even know any more who you are
Ooh la la, ooh la la
Ooh ooh la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la
Ooh ooh la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la
Ooh ooh la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la
Ooh ooh la la
I’ve been up for hours searching for answers
Messages hidden in the back pages of newspapers
They call you cuck, kike, faggot, homo, paki, nigga
This city was built on the trade of spies and sailors
Eastern Europe is calling on me
I wanna disappear behind the curtain completely
And every empire was founded on slaves
Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves (Ring the bell)
Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves
Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves
We crossed the ocean on a ship made out of slaves
Now be a good boy, Jim
And run up and help, Jim
Be sure to roll over and tuck your tail behind your legs and beg, Jim
You’re my best friend, Jim
You are my servant, Jim
You are not worth the shit that dribbles from my chin, Jim
Talk to the man with a mouth like an asshole
Talk to the man with a mouth like an asshole
Talk to the man with a mouth like an asshole
The scenery seems to tremble like an interrupted signal
Ring the bell Jim
Ring the bell Jim
Jim Jim J-Jiminy, ring the bell
All is well Jim
All is well Jim
Jim Jim J-Jiminy, ring the bell
Oh ring the bell Jim
Ring the bell Jim
Jim Jim J-Jiminy, ring the bell
All is well Jim
All is well Jim
Jim Jim J-Jiminy, ring the bell
Ring the bell, ring the bell, ring the bell, ring the bell
Jim Jim J-Jiminy, ring the bell
All is well Jim
All is well Jim
Jim Jim J-Jiminy, ring the bell
