Onomatopoeia marching down the avenue - bringing chaos and destruction, doing what it wants to do
I must be one of those microscopic fools
that thinks mass annihilation means salvation and the truth
Woah
I’m indestructible and eighty stories high
Woah
The righteousness and fury are gonna eat the godless sky
Oh Gigantoro
Won’t you save my wretched soul
Oh Gigantoro
Oh no
I am a sinner and every breath a sin
holy Cleanse in fire so we can build it back again
I must be one of those half forgotten fools
On some long atomic Monday passing judgement on the cruel
Woah
It’s incorruptible and the right hand of the divine
Woah
It’s inconceivable and reigning holy terror throughout time

check those little green men
with them big glowing eyes
staring at me taking notes
from that fire up in the sky
now my head it won’t stop pounding
my stomach’s tied up in knots
would you believe their calling cards out scrawled out in my crops?
oh take me home
take me home
I belong
back on my farm
to be poked and probed
and put up
and prodded in the eye
no that ain’t nice
I told my tale maybe once or twice
two days later
I woke up in my bed
neon lights and circus sights
they’re a swirling around my head
now the tv makes me queasy
radio static knocks me flat
the only rest I get at night’s with a tinfoil sleeping cap
oh take me home
take me home
I belong
back on my farm
to be poked and probed
and put up
and prodded in the eye
no that ain’t nice
I told my tale maybe once or twice
oh I wonder where they come from
and I wonder where they are
standing on my front porch late at night
gaze to the stars
and I know they must be out there
and as far as I can tell
how could they take me up to heaven then drop me back down to hell?
oh take me home
take home
I belong
back in that zone
to be poked and probed
and put up
and prodded in the eye
no that ain’t nice
I told my tale maybe once or twice
