"The Colossus Crawls West"

It's too late now
She's got me dreaming
Without you there is no truth
According to me

Inside and around me
Tears got me drinking
Without you there is no scope
In the morning for me

One of these days in the night
Old enemies will come back to fight
And since you would then disagree
We will be skinned alive
When full-colored kings arrive

And teach them we will, all we know
Bring popcorn for Geronimo
And dance with our freshly made friends
Ignoring the old ones
The boring and cold ones

And when the colossus crawls west
Jazz bastards will fall and confess
We all love you so and your rock
Is paradise plastic
It's cheap and fantastic

It's too late now
