Day Zero Lyrics

Legendary Pink Dots Day Zero

The king will see no visitors this evening. He's resting
in his bath. And he's restless for the screening of his
favorite soap - this episode is crucial. The king just
needs to cry. Far away, the peasants are revolting, the
generals have been choked with knotted flags. I hear
they're hanging from the balustrades. From mile-high-
rises, microwaves are dropped. Drive-bys, dodge them all,
to swarm into the hungry mob, to desecrate them, defecate
them, no one's leading on. They keep pitching forwards,
this way, that way, anyway. And I heard the airport's
overflowing, and the borders have been closed. We are
censoring this message, though we're sure that no one
knows: No one cares! The king is looking rather
disappointed. He's staring at the screen, and he's
swearing, 'cos he's seen someone died. The funeral is
live.
