lyrics

Feed me with a runny spoon
And I won't need my spine
Under the underneath trees
With monkey wine
The dogs turn into bugs
And kneel and crow
The bugs begin to eat the sun
And then the terror grows and grows

Oh lunch is great
In the Luncheon State
Pure alcohol
And wide trembling hands
That shrink and grow and shrink and grow
and shrink as night draws in

Hoping that your magic
Will rub off on me
(I'm hoping)
Rotting underneath this turban
Imperceptibly
(I'm rotting)
Lend that fire a fire
Haul the coals across the coals
(I'm burning)
And let them know the shape of fear
Let them know the shape
of
fear

Oh lunch is great
In the Luncheon State
Pure alcohol
And wide trembling hands
That shrink and grow and shrink and grow
and shrink as night is drawing in

We were unprepared
Crawling on our backs
Couldn't even stand
The night is drawing in

Pure alcohol
Limp little girl
Couldn't even stand
The night is drawing in

Bugs eat the sun
And the terror grows
Couldn't even stand
The night is drawing in

And lunch was great
Yes lunch was great
In the Luncheon State
Night is drawing in

We can never go back to where we've been
(To the Luncheon State)
