There’s a face on our head

Written in bars and foretold in the Stars

Discussed in the bars

Whilst the drunks are softly singing

That The Light Has Left Them All

Set at the bar and the bench and the fetch-

What was the cause of your mother’s death?

Probably No or Maybe or Yes

What is the name of the face on your wall?

Possibly No and probably Yes

Were you tall on your hands?

Do you like the hair golden?

Possibly No and probably Yes

Possibly lost and mistaken your name

And nihil your gain and probably lost

You threw up flowers I have heard

But The Light Is Leaving You All

Probably Maybe certainly No

Is your face on the Moon?

Are you barren or halt?

Probably Nothing probably No

Have you noticed

The Light Is Leaving You All?

Probably possibly certainly Yes

The birds are sweetly singing

The birds are sweetly singing

Electric your life

And electric your death

Electric the Light

And electric the night

Electric the Moon

Electric the Sun

Electric the mother

Electric the father

And The Light Has Left Them All

Whilst the birds were sweetly singing

The Light Has Left Them All

The birds are sadly singing
