Reptiles And Samurai

(앨범: Nothing To Fear - 1982)

Reptiles and samurai
Inhabit my head
Invading my dreams
Sleeping in my bed
They battle, but they never die
They hear what I hear
Watching through my eyes
They don't like what they see

Reptiles and samurai
Are under my skin
They hide in my mind
They speak with my tongue
They run amok in my terrain

They are not friends
But they are forced reluctantly
To share my brain

Reptiles have silly grins
Dark eyes—shiny teeth—some have fins
Samurai, they smile never
Serious—pretty swords—very clever

Sometimes, I watch you from this place way in the sky
Your face is young and shiny, transformed right before my eyes
Without warning, without reason
To samurai and lizards
Reptiles and samurai
Samurai and lizards
Reptiles and samurai

Reptiles and samurai
Inhabit my head
Invading my dreams
Sleeping in my bed
They battle, but they never die...!

Reptiles have pretty scales
They run real fast—they like to bite—some have tails
Samurai like their water hot—very brave
They eat raw fish—they fight a lot

Sometimes, I watch you from this place way in the sky
Your face is young and shiny, transformed right before my eyes
Without warning, without reason
To samurai and lizards
Reptiles and samurai
Samurai and lizards
Reptiles and samurai
