Hey hey, the clouds are whey, 
There's straw for the donkeys
And the innocents can all sleep safely    
All sleep safely.    
My, my, sun is pie
There's fodder for the cannons 
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All  sleep  safely.   

And all the world is  football shaped, 
It's just for me to kick in space    
And I can  see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime 
Trying to take this all in, 
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime  
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes      
The pain and the pleasure and the church bells softly chime...

Hey hey, night fights day,   
There's food for the thinkers
and the innocents can all live slowly    
All live slowly    
My, my the sky will cry   
Jewels for the thirsty
And the guilty ones can all die slowly    
All die  slowly.    

And all the world is biscuit-shaped,   
It's just for me to feed my face   
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two,three, four, five 
Senses working overtime  
Trying to take this all in,
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes   
The pain and the pleasure and the church bells  softly  chime...

And birds might fall from black  skies    
And bullies might give you black eyes
And busses might skid on black ice    
But to me it's very, very beautiful (England's glory!)    
Beautiful (a striking  beauty!)  

And all the world is football-shaped,
It's just for me  to kick in space    
And  I  can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five 
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in,
I've got one, two,three, four, five
Senses working overtime    
Try to tell the difference 'tween the goods and crimes,    
Dirt or treasure and there's one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime  
Trying to take this all in,
I've got one, two, three, four, five 
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure and the church bells softly chime.
