lyrics

Citing my lines through the years
When I asked her for the time
Dressed up in the golden sun
And shining like a dime
On the mud of unwashed shores
Where we might lay our wreck
I knew you before the blood we drew
So what's the harm in killing a bug or two?

Galloping bands of imposters
Ask all to be absorbed

A rabbit's bounce does draw the fox
With salty eyes sky full of hawks
Where murder fixes all
Like a turning screw
But jealousy is a crueler beast
Whose green-eyed gaze I crave the least
More like the dragon that old Saint George slew
So what's the harm in killing a bug or two?

They would slaughter their own horses
If letting blood would quench their thirst

In a time of glittering chrome
With feral yaps at rest
Sail your ship into the evening star
Much further than we'd guessed
They have maimed the messenger
Now she don't sail no more
So slip the anchor let it all slip through
We see no harm in killing a bug or two
