Across the Antheap (Skylarking demo) Songtext
von Andy Partridge

Ziggedy zig zag thery′re going
Ziggedy zig zag
Ziggedy zig zag, they're going

A billion feet are pounding
Two billion drums
A baby crying and
A new messiah comes

Cars are crashing and the
Bacon is hacked
The coffin′s lowered and the
Lunches are packed

Promises breaking and
They're dissing it loud
It isn't what colour
Of cat you are
There′s no dogs allowed


And the screaming sky
Won′t let me sleep
O yeah yeah yeah
The stars are laughing at us
As we run round and round
Across this antheap

Ziggedy zig zag thery're going
Ziggedy zig zag
Ziggedy zig zag, they′re going

Planes may go over
But no money goes round
And signs go up to say
We're now twin towned

But plots will hatch
And daily bread will be baked
While payrolls snatched
And yet another orgasm faked

The jobs just pile up
And careers are poised
And loneliness is still
A deafening noise


And the screaming sky
Won′t let me sleep
Oh yeah yeah yeah
The stars are laughing at us
As we run round and round
Across this antheap

Hey hep

And the screaming sky
Won't let me sleep
Oh yeah yeah yeah
The stars are laughing at us
As we run round and round
Across the antheap
