Expecting a Message - Kevin Godley

I’m expecting a message

Is there a message for me?

I’m expecting a message

Is there a message for me?

I’m expecting a message

From something out of this world

I’m expecting a message

That I really want to hear

I was told to come here and wait for a signal

I was told to hold onto my head and cover my eyes

So I’m here and the sky’s all purple and humming

I’m here and my body’s changing size

I’m expecting a message

Is there a message for me?

I’m expecting a message

Is there a message for me?

I’m expecting a message

Is there a message for me?

Your house is empty

But the pool is full

And the water’s dirty

Yeah, the water’s dirty

She smells like a polecat

You listen hard, you can hear her sweat. Yeah yeah

She likes to stay up ‘til sunrise

To watch the concrete set. Yeah yeah

She follows this strange religion

That move their dead about and preach

Putting razor wire round Heaven

To stop souls from breaking out. Souls from breaking out

Is there a message for me?

Gotta let the souls break out

Is there a message?

Gotta let the souls break out

Is there a message for me?

Gotta let the souls break out

Is there a message?

I feel the car’s engine stalling

See the fallen angel falling

Vile greasy things are crawling into me

I’m dying on a kind of table

Lying in a kind of room

They’re scraping out my soul

In a bath of dirty water

Here comes the humming needle

Here comes the moan releasing

Where is my God when I need him?

Where is my God?

(Alien moan break)

You gotta let the souls break out

Gotta let the souls break out

Is there a message?

You gotta let the souls break out

Is there a message for me?

You gotta let the souls break out

Is there a message?

I’m expecting a message

Is there a message for me?

I’m expecting a message

But I don’t want to hear it
