Lyrics for The Colossus Crawls West

It's too late now She's got me dreaming Without you there is no truth According to me Inside and around me Tears got me drinking Without you there is no scope In the morning for me One of these days in the night Old enemies will come back to fight And since you would then disagree We will be skinned alive When full-colored kings arrive And teach them we will all we know Bring popcorn for Geronimo And dance with our freshly made friends Ignoring the old ones The boring and cold ones And when the colossus crawls west Jazz bastards will fall and confess We all love you so and your rock Is paradise plastic It's cheap and fantastic It's too late now
