{Verse 1} The day is long, there is no morning I touch on nothing but the romance of shame I may go up with nothing to excite But a scent that may escape With my Dracula binocular I turn away to flee With a shrunken eye and a shrunken dream {Verse 2} With legislation blasted, with language that is bad Adaptable relatives reform Distant from the nation, honouring the body Staying in bed to win a seat The day is long, there is no morning {Verse 3} Flagged when aboard, exhausting my patience Getting to the end of this Looking for offense, sensitive to mess I find a body part in a fish {Refrain} In a fish In a fish In a fish In a fish {Verse 4} Expelled with ill will the girl lost all momentum Circling imaginary mountains She sees what’s left and sees what’s left behind {Outro} The day is long, there is no morning The day is long, there is no morning The day is long, there is no morning
