The Key

(album: No Damage Done - 1992)

Rome Africa Mesopotamia Brazil

See those thunder clouds begin to form
Strangers they keep Knocking at your door
The man you met last night is sleeping on your floor
And everybody wants just a little bit more

Rome Africa Mesopotamia Brazil

The news that never ends is on TV
A whirlwind broke the town across it's knee
The leaders of the world fail to agree
And you've been acting strange again lately

Darwin's apes are blowing all the fuses here tonight
And you and I have thrown you and I have thrown
Away the key

Rome Africa Mesopotamia Brazil

Places you have been to in your mind
Bounced across the heavens satellite time
The golden goddess meets you in your dreams
She say's hold the roses hon, they won't hear the screams

Rome Africa Mesopotamia Brazil

Raid those sweet momentos beat that drum
The papers say the troubles just begun
Blood and shit and horror till all the wars are won
To all these haunted visions we succumb

Darwin's apes are blowing all the fuses here tonight
And you and I have thrown you and I have thrown
Away the key
