Next by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello
Hold my hand, take me down
I wanna pray to god don't you understand
(I was still just a kid
There were a hundred like me
I followed the naked body)

Twenty-three years is a mighty long time
When the world is turning and everything's mine
(A naked body followed me
Next, next)

Watch the news, turn it off
Down the road to the edge of the lot
(Me, I really would have liked
A little touch of tenderness)

I went to sea I tried to swim
Jonah 'n' his whale said "You better come in"
(Maybe a word, just a smile
Some instant happiness
But, no, no. Next!)
[Verse 1]
I went to Mars, I was looking for a war
He said boy don't you know the score
(I'm totally wired
I'm totally wired)

Love it hate it, it's all the same
When your boat comes in you'll feel no pain
(I'm totally wired
I'm totally wired)

[Bridge]
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay, yodelay, yodelay, yodelay, yodelay, yodelay, lay, lay, lay, lay
Lay ...
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

[Verse 3]
Buying, selling anything we can
Your pound of flesh is cooking in the pan
(Let's merry-go, merry-go
Merry-go-round. Whoo hoo hoo!)
Time goes fast[?], contra priests
All playing poker by the dead man's teeth
(Let's merry-go, merry-go
Merry-go-round. Whoo hoo hoo!)
