Monkeys do leap on backs When they get there it's parrot fashion I wouldn't talk like a stranger If you knew what could be Buried in the backyard Darkness is just hidden by the light Sometimes I'm paralyzed by the fright of it I don't mean to be alarmist But the things that people bury in the backyard Oh angels in armchairs With a lust for demons and bad news Kill the princess put her out of her misery Do me a favour lock all the doors And tell me it's just the blues just the blues You gave me a violent mind How much of this is honesty I feel such a stranger I thought I was a man of peace Oh angels in armchairs With a lust for demons and bad news Kill the princess put her out of her misery Do me a favour lock all the doors And tell me it's just the blues just the blues Oh Angels in armchairs making less of history Kill the princess put her out of her misery Do me a favour lock all the doors And tell me it's just the blues just the blues You tell me it's just the blues
