damnation's cellar

did anybody notice

over marmalade and eggs

in between the princess' legs

what with wars and floods and beggars

not to mention stocks and shares

if you have a moment to spare

can you write and reassure me that i have seen

they're constructing a time machine

there will be no need for the obituary pages

we can have any hero from the bygone ages

'til the truth emerges

the argument rages

the major and the minor

turn from tallow into tar

should we leave them in their place?

down in damnation's cellar

when any form of deity that you might enjoy

can be conjured with a test-tube and a flame

if it's out there then science can explain it

or at least remove the blame

and if theres is anyone you'd like to see again

the speak up quickly

send us back da vinci then we don't have to ponder

the maddening smile of la giaconda"
