Chicken in the farmyard, there's an oven in your bin 
                                                       
You're growing old with sorrow, you're growing fat with sin 
                                                 /
I was living in the graveyard, I was hanging from the wall 
                                                    
I was living in the desert, I was trying not to fall 
                                         /
Once I stood upon Olympus,   then the heavens opened wide 
                          /              
I beheld that flaming chariot   and I saw the sacred bride 

   

                        / 
Now and then my life seems truer,   
                                   
now and then my thoughts seem pure 
     /                        /            
All in all, my thoughts are fewer - 
                     
maybe death will be my cure
