Lyrics
On The 13th Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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)
