Machine Guns and Peacock Feathers

[Verse 1]

On the eve of the ninth moon

The world's on fire

Michael and his angels

Versus the dragon

Icarus is falling

Tempting faith

Nothing to hold onto

Against the dying light

[Chorus]

Carry the milk or pierce the body with

Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers

Altered organ function

Computers, democracy and nervous disorder

[Post-Chorus]

Swords and machine guns

Flowers and feathers

Altered organ function

Nervous disorder

[Verse 2]

It’s two minutes to midnight

In the garden of delight

And do androids dream

Of electric sheep?

Barrels are burning

Great art will be destroyed

The sleeping beauty

Of the wasteland

[Chorus]

Carry the milk or pierce the body with

Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers

Altered organ function

Computers, democracy and nervous disorder

[Bridge]

(Swords and machine guns)

Swords and machine guns

(Flowers and feathers)

Flowers and feathers

(Altered organ function)

Altered organ function

(Nervous disorder)

Nervous disorder

[Chorus]

Carry the milk or pierce the body with

Swords, machine guns, flowers and peacock feathers

(Flowers and feathers)

Altered organ function

Computers, democracy and nervous disorder (Nervous disorder)

[Post-Chorus]

Swords and machine guns

(Swords and machine guns)

Flowers and feathers

(Flowers and feathers)

Altered organ function

(Altered organ function)

Nervous disorder

(Nervous disorder)
