The Great Endeavour
Unusual, my bitter, bitten rival,
It’s beautiful, the ridiculous revival,
Make it rock! And do your thing,
I will screw it up, and try to pick up the feathers from the ground all around the burnt up wings,
Makes you stop, the threat of the impossible,
We could break the lock, laugh at the improbable, you follow me now?
Make it bop! Rain drop,
And let all the springs and mechanisms fall to the ground,
Make me spin, take me in, and we could walk around together,
Tell me no, I’ll make it so, and we will fuss and fight for ne-e-ever,
You opened up the good tin, so please don’t let the good thing stop,
The demon’s in a big spin, oh baby now the weather’s gonna get so hot!
I’m feeling like an earthling so maybe there’s a place on this graceless rock,
Can never concentrate, I’m waiting for the great endeavour,
You think we should stop? It all depends on our survival,
Is it worth a pop? All the scratches on the vinyl, YOU KEEPIN' UP??
You’re a freak, freaking out complete, and I’m staring down the freeway,
There’s a fleet of freight for me and they’re telling me to take it easy,
The streets are slick with grease and signs are telling me to take it,
SLOW, SLOW, SLOW, WOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHH!!!!
You opened up the good tin, so please don’t let the good thing stop,
The demon’s in a big spin, oh baby now the weather’s gonna get so hot!
I’m feeling like an earthling so maybe there’s a place on this graceless rock,
Can never concentrate, I’m waiting for the great endeavour,
Make it make it so, my soul's on a tightrope,
Break the deadly code, your choke's like your heaven,
Make it make it so, my soul's on a tightrope,
Break the deadly code, your choke's like your heaven,
You opened up the good tin, so please don’t let the good thing stop,
The demon’s in a big spin, oh baby now the weather’s gonna get so hot!
I’m feeling like an earthling so maybe there’s a place on this graceless rock,
I know I’m always late, I’m waiting for the great endeavour,
