KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD
"Straws In The Wind"
(Ambrose Kenny-Smith / Stu Mackenzie)

Galvanising uncertainty
Mindful of the weary inkling that is lurking
Hierarchy, it's been cracking aegis
Embodied in this black heart shameless

[Chorus:]
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Like a blunder brewing full to the brim
I can see the Beelzebub Cheshire grin

[Post-Chorus:]
Cooking something raw
Cooking something big
Pandemonium
Selfish pigs
Headless chickens
Scared shitless
The media
Will never quit

[Instrumental break]

Allegro fueled with discontent
Mortal traffic lights signaling when to stay or go
Condescending expendables botched to a clock
Novice to the dilemma with nothing clever left in stock

[Chorus:]
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Like a blunder brewing full to the brim
I can hear Hell's kitchen and they're singing hymns

[Post-Chorus:]
Cooking something raw
Cooking something big
Pandemonium
Selfish pigs
Headless chickens
Scared shitless
The media
Will never quit

[Instrumental break]

The affluent with a bad omen hanging
Monstrosity scarce breaking freedom
Shrewd and not in the mood to disillude
We are the pillars of a forgotten pier

[Chorus:]
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
(Is it all?) Is it all straws in the wind?
(Is it all?) Is it all straws in the wind?
(Is it all?) Is it all straws in the wind?
(Is it all?) Is it all straws in the wind?

[Chorus:]
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Like a slumber and we've all just awoken
I can see the Beelzebub Cheshire grin

[Outro:]
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
Straws in the wind, is it all ending?
