lyrics

The old folks cut their toenails
By the light of a cartoon,
It's the story of a man
Who sticks a flag into the moon,
When some of them start howling
And are marched out of the room.

Oh, history's what you feel like in the morning.

The Pope is in the ballroom
Inside the skirts of Rome,
Between her mighty pillars
Looking up into the dome.
Outside the dance is starting;
He is standing there alone.

Oh, history's what you feel like in the morning.

The corridors are endless!
The ceiling's very high!
The cornices are changing
As they gather in the sky!
And I am just a stranger
Who moves across your eye

Oh, history's what you feel like in the morning.

Hoax and Benison
Sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
I love him
As he loves me

And history's what we feel like in the morning.
