Bombers

"Chorus} All clear wail the sirens Sunshine on the waste-land Old man sitting in the white sand Think we're in for a big surprise, right between the ey..es Seemed a good idea to drop a bomb on the waste-land, yeah Only one man could be seen, and he was old and so serene Captain sat in his deck chair, and the red light flashed "beware" Pilot felt quite big-time as the bomb sailed through the air Well, they danced and sang when the bang went bang When the lights popped out and the smoke began to clear, it was positively queer! {chorus} "Die" said the General, "cobblers" said the man So the Pentagon sent a cable, and the Queen a telegram A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones ripped apart that sand 'Til the stench was just revolting!, and the sky a green-ish tan But the soldier said "Sir, there's a crack in the world" And the figures went "squash", and the bits flew far and wide How the universe sighed! {chorus} {chorus} When the smoke had blown away, there was nothing left to view Except a man, dear Lord!, he look like you Floating high, up in the sky........y » continua"
Width of a circle

"In the corner of the morning in the past I would sit and blame the master first and last All the roads were straight and narrow And the prayers were small and yellow And the rumour spread that I was aging fast Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree. And I looked and frowned and the monster was me Well, I said hello and I said hello And I asked "Why not?" and I replied "I don't know" So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be And he laughed insane and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN" So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through For I realized that God's a young man too So I said "So long" and I waved "Bye-bye" And I smashed my soul and traded my mind Got laid by a young bordello I was vaguely half asleep For which my reputation swept back home in drag And the moral of this magic spell Negotiates my hide When God did take my logic for a ride (Riding along) He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips And showed me the leather belt round his hips My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame He said "You'll never go down to the Gods again" (Turn around,go back!) He struck the ground a cavern appeared And I smelt the burning pit of fear We crashed a thousand yards below I said "Do it again, do it again" (Turn around,go back!) His nebulous body swayed above His tongue swollen with devil's love The snake and I, a venom high I said "Do it again, do it again" (Turn around, go back!) Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply And I was seething, breathing deeply Spitting sentry, horned and tailed Waiting for you » continua"
