Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
Call in the air strike with a poison kiss
We feel like Greeks we feel like Romans
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us
Everybody's happy as the dead come home
And yet we have the strength to do this

But you know evil is an exact science
Everybody's happy as the dead come home
The burning wax, the breath of reptiles
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody's happy
We are not monsters, we're moral people
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
Very little, fruit is forbidden
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
But we know pleasure is not that simple

From the juices of the dying
Cover Him up, I think we're finished
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody's happy as the dead come home
Everybody's happy as the dead come home

You know it's never been so exotic
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
Being carefully, correctly, wrong

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
We could still end up with the great big fishes
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Love has no meaning not where they come from
We drink elixirs that we refine
How bad it gets, you can't imagine
Everybody's happy as the dead come home
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
God is not mocked, He knows His business
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
This is the splendor of our achievement
Karma could take us at any moment

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
But I don't know, my dreams are visions
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
Everybody's happy as the dead come home

Sometimes we wobble, sometimes we're strong
