Richard VS - Do I really want to go to Strasbourg? Lyrics

Turquoise-tinted festival sidequest
How much longer can I remain your heart's guest
Political quarrels are just the tip of the iceberg
'Cause I'm leaving for Strasbourg

My old friends who were never even there
They're yours now so handle them with care
You can tell my cat it doesn't matter
If she goes from fat to fatter

Far-flung family raising a caucus
Armed and dangerous, what am I, delirious?
Well they'd better lose that attitude
If they want, if they want to see the end of this feud

Oh, do I really want to make like Kiki and
Deliver my services to this land
Which in my from only commands an ampersand
Oh, is really what a younger me would have planned
Trading fun, trading freedom in a touring band
For a free pass blowing up cities in the sand
Have I not stared at screens to spare
In the midst of this new red scare?
Do I really want
Do I really want to go to
Strasbourg?

They said it was ever so great up there
That they would even pay for my train fare
But woe betide me should I cross the border
The girls there, well they're just out of order

Clock is set to strike, better late than never
Better some than none, so don't get clever
Well I can stand stand to lose the muzzle, but I'd sooner lay down the clippers
Facing the Norwood Reaper

Oh, do I really want to deal the final blow
To the well-wishers who said "just go with the flow"
Tip aboard catching the undertow
Do I really want to go ahead and throw
So one day I can say I spent my long ago
Playing Numberwang over the radio
The radio

Feels prepared for this time, like a fixed point
Doo-doo-doo doo doo
Oh damn it I'm a
Teacher not a soldier
Always rember
Happy t-times when you were Captain Kirk
Oh damn it I'm a
Teacher not a soldier
Always rember
Happy t-times when you were Captain Kirk
'Cause even that had its perks

Do I really want to make like Kiki and (Is this really what a younger me would have planned)
Do I really want to make like Kiki and
Take fate's hand
Trading fun in a touring band (Trading fun in a touring band)
Trading fun in a touring band
Is this my line in the sand?
Have I not stared at screens to spare
In the midst of this new red scare?
Do I really want to, do
Do I really want to
Do I really want to
Do I really want to
Do I really want to
Do I really want to
Go to Strasbourg?
