On The 13th Day Lyrics

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)
