Turquoise

The smell of me, the smell of mead
Are two sides of the same coin, boy
I'm an apple rotten to the core

You silly thing, why did you think
We were meant to be something more
Than a butcher's cut in a meat store
To think we used to live in
Fear of the atom bomb
Now we're ordering our sandwiches
From shit.com

The world tipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live?
Or maybe you don't wanna live

The world tipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live?
Or maybe you don't wanna live
How?

The rhapsody, the melody
But the poor conductor fell into the pit
Must have had a spell, the old boy

As mother nature bleeds and bleeds
The orchestra covers up for it
But it's not a sound I can say I enjoy
Used to be we understood
How it all went wrong
But I don't pay for protection
I just sing along

The world flipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live?
Or maybe you don't wanna live

The world tipped on its side and went tits up
So to protect myself I wear turquoise
Why don't you wear turquoise?
Don't you wanna live?
Or maybe you don't wanna live
No!

The network news pukes all over itself
I don't know what they say
Something, something about public health
And one day it might go away

It's so hard to arrive at what we must do
It's so hard to be alive
When I can't be with you

It's like an alien invasion
Under stress we suppress
The spread of information
Spreading fear, spreading love
I am here and what you're afraid of?
'Til then, come on, feel the noise
Protect yourself with turquoise

The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)
The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)

The world flipped on its side
The world flipped on its side

The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)
The world flipped on its side
(The world flipped on its side)
The world flipped on its side
