Morning caught me spinning plates
Heavy weather, seven gates
Arduinna calls my name, saying
Where's our long-lost head of state?
See the spectre, see his shape
Leaves miasma in his wake
Carved and polished, he denigrates
He's a long lost head of state
As the penny drops, the rage will flow
Steady as it goes, flooding all we know
Rolling over gently sloping green vales
Midday caught me unawares
Flipping through these sad affairs
Signed petition, empty chaired
See your long-lost head of state
See your long-lost head of state
As the penny drops, the rage will flow
Steady as it goes, flooding all we know
Rolling over gently sloping green vales
Evening caught me laying low
In the traffic's undertow
Pull me under, take it slow
Take me to my head of state
Breaching water, there she blows
Heed the slaughter, heaven knows
Burn the bridges, knees and toes
And our long lost head of state
And our long lost head of state
And our long lost head of state
And our long lost head of state
