I have been poisoned by lead
And from this one pencil it`s spread
And now it`s seeped into the thread
Of all my black clothes
Get back in the white panel van
Reshuffle the old master plan
For we are the Flying Dutchmen
And that`s all we know
This is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud
I got a lazy eye
Attached to a lazy mind
Attached to a lazy guy
Adrift on the sea
And these are the dispatches
No sequins or mismatches
All tied up in small batches
Left under a tree
You had your fun and had love put aside
Been crushed by the tumbling tide
How now dark cloud
Wake up Miss Mysterious
And the slide-show projectionist
And we will all swing from the truss
Until the dawn
So this is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud
I have been poisoned by lead
And from this one pencil it`s spread
And now it`s seeped into the thread
Of all my black clothes
Get back in the white panel van
Reshuffle the old master plan
For we are the Flying Dutchmen
And that`s all we know
This is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud
I got a lazy eye
Attached to a lazy mind
Attached to a lazy guy
Adrift on the sea
And these are the dispatches
No sequins or mismatches
All tied up in small batches
Left under a tree
You had your fun and had love put aside
Been crushed by the tumbling tide
How now dark cloud
Wake up Miss Mysterious
And the slide-show projectionist
And we will all swing from the truss
Until the dawn
So this is the end of the half-written tale
Of a man and the cake and the rain
How now dark cloud
