Senses Working Overtime

    Hey hey
    The clouds are whey
    There's straw for the donkeys
    And the innocents can all sleep safely
    All sleep safely

    My, my
    Sun is pie
    There's fodder for the cannons
    And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
    All sleep safely

    And all the world is football shaped
    It's just for me to kick in space
    And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
    And I've got one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime

    Trying to take this all in
    I've got one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime
    Trying to taste the difference
    'Tween the lemons and limes
    The pain and the pleasure
    And the church bells softly chime

    Hey, hey
    Night fights day
    There's food for the thinkers
    And the innocents can all live slowly
    All live slowly
    My, my
    The sky will cry
    Jewels for the thirsty
    And the guilty one's can all die slowly
    All die slowly

    And all the world is biscuit shaped
    It's just for me to feed my face
    And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
    And I've got one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime
    Trying to take this all in
    I've got one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime
    Trying to taste the difference
    'Tween the lemons and limes
    The pain and the pleasure
    And the church bells softly chime

    And birds might fall from black skies
    And bullies might give you black eyes
    And busses might skid on black ice
    But to me it's very, very beautiful
    (England's glory!)
    Beautiful
    (A striking beauty!)

    And all the world is football shaped
    It's just for me to kick in space
    And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
    And I've got one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime
    Trying to take this all in
    I've got one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime
    Trying to tell the difference
    'Tween the goods and crimes
    Dirt or treasure

    And there's one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime
    Trying to take this all in
    I've got one, two, three, four, five
    Senses working overtime
    Trying to taste the difference
    'Tween the lemons and limes
    The pain and the pleasure
    And the church bells softly chime
