lyrics

We've got ourselves a verbal virus, virus
That sprung from a misguided iris, iris
A vision black and charred and narrow, narrow
With all the substance of a zero, zero

Your messenger is one lost rider, rider
And his false path is growing wider, wider
Then others tread it uninvited
And they feverishly recite it, recite

Recite the broken battered rumour, rumour
And let it expand like a tumour, tumour
Toxic as a glass of cyanide cider
Weave your web, you sinister spider

Tongues oh tongues can be like talons, talons
With all the grace of Joseph Stalin, Stalin
The lush garden it bears briars, briars
Stupid stupid stupid fucking liars
