Furry Green Atom Bowl - Robyn Hitchcock

Furry green eye

In a furry green hole

It’s a furry green atom bowl

Furry green eye

In a furry green bowl

It’s a furry green atom bowl

Spread-dud-dust, spread-dud-dust

Spread-dud-dust in a reaching way

As the dead bug flares, dead bug flares

Dead bug flares in a swollen glow

Furry green mole

In a furry green hole

It’s a furry green atom bowl

Um…

Um…

Verdigris, verdigris

Verdigris, verdigris

Verdigris, verdigris

Um…

Um…

Um…

Um…

The lid comes off like a casserole

(The lid comes off like a casserole)

The steam comes up the devil’s nose

He knows, he knows, he always knows

He sits there in a silver cone

Drumming his fingers on a golden throne

He loves that smell

He loves that smell

Um…

Um…

That swollen bowl it blew up whole

(That swollen bowl it blew up whole)

And the black was hungry when it came down

So it et the world for miles around

Sticky black meat (sticky black meat)

Will flood your street (will flood your street)

Sticky black oil

Will boil your soil

Furry green eye

In a furry green hole

It’s a furry green atom bowl

Furry green eggs

On furry green legs

Big ones, small ones, out they roll

Gonna shake my pie, gonna bake my soul

It’s a crusty old pie (it's a crusty old pie)

But it’s a crusty old world (it's a crusty old world)

And underneath (underneath)

There’s roots and bulbs (roots and bulbs)

Gonna mix 'em all up (gonna mix 'em all up)

In the atom bowl

Big ones, small ones, out they roll

Big ones, small ones, out they roll

Big ones, small ones, out they roll

In a new formation

In a new formation

In a new formation

Spell a brand new world with the same old letters

Um…

Um…

Um…

Um…

There’s roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

Roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

Roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

And that’s the way to stay

There’s roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

There’s roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

There’s roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

And that’s the way to stay

There’s roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

There’s roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

There’s roots in the earth and kidneys in the body

And that’s the way to stay
