Nemesis Lyrics - Singles - Shriekback

In the jungle of the senses 

Tinker Bell and Jack The Ripper 

Love has no meaning not where they come from 

But we know pleasure is not that simple 

Very little, fruit is forbidden 

Sometimes we wobble, sometimes we're strong 

But you know evil is an exact science 

Being carefully, correctly, wrong 

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals 

Everybody's happy as the dead come home 

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis 

No one move a muscle as the dead come home 

We feel like Greeks we feel like Romans 

Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us 

We drink elixirs that we refine 

From the juices of the dying 

We are not monsters, we're moral people 

And yet we have the strength to do this 

This is the splendor of our achievement 

Call in the air strike with a poison kiss 

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals 

Everybody's happy as the dead come home 

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis 

No one move a muscle as the dead come home 

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals 

Everybody's happy as the dead come home 

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis 

No one move a muscle as the dead come home 

How bad it gets, you can't imagine 

The burning wax, the breath of reptiles 

God is not mocked, He knows His business 

Karma could take us at any moment 

Cover Him up, I think we're finished 

You know it's never been so exotic 

But I don't know, my dreams are visions 

We could still end up with the great big fishes 

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals 

Everybody's happy as the dead come home 

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis 

No one move a muscle as the dead come home 

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals 

Everybody's happy as the dead come home 

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis 

No one move a muscle as the dead come home 

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals 

Everybody's happy as the dead come home 

Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis 

No one move a muscle as the dead come home 

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals 

Everybody's happy
