lyrics
Swap the whale and dolphin cries
For ambulances;
Ambulance with ample time
To get to where we are...
...where all the sick are far away,
And we can't hear them;
We can't hear their hypochondriacal, snarling
Callow callouts in the night:
Crooked ways to get their way,
To waste her time,
And waste my time...
...in total imbecilic fashion,
With no regard for love, nor passion,
Nor anything that's here where we
Care.
But the moon's still there,
So we don't mind at all,
and all the animals have gone
to get their blood tests for a while,
so they'll be in the wild
Soon.
For ambulances;
Ambulance with ample time
To get to where we are...
...where all the sick are far away,
And we can't hear them;
We can't hear their hypochondriacal, snarling
Callow callouts in the night:
Crooked ways to get their way,
To waste her time,
And waste my time...
...in total imbecilic fashion,
With no regard for love, nor passion,
Nor anything that's here where we
Care.
But the moon's still there,
So we don't mind at all,
and all the animals have gone
to get their blood tests for a while,
so they'll be in the wild
Soon.
