Lyrics for On The 13th Day
On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me (x3, Chorus) Corrugated horse flesh candy in lime marmalade Dolphin heads in aspic with a butterfly brocade (Chorus) Lyre-birds in a stained glass cage, with lightning rods as plumes Double-jointed black men playing leap-frog on the moon (Chorus) Sea foam in a snow white shroud, red herrings round its teeth Puffball spores exploding on a bed of burning wreaths (Chorus) Venus fly-trap tigers of a tin-foil tapestry Timber moles in mustard, warbling in a minor key (Chorus)
