Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians - Dwarfbeat lyrics

That's what happens accidentally when you're in the mood For a bit of nothing much or even just some food That's what happened every day between "you say" and between "you do" That's what happens every second to you That's what happens unintentionally when You're playing cards There's a smell of burning and a screeching from the yard There's a chicken in the chimney, there's a book on what to do But I've never read it -- baby, have you? So you feel like a dwarf who feels like a king Yeah, a dwarf has some fun When there's no one tall to be compared With That's what happens accidentally when you're on a boat The sea is full of iron gloves, you wonder how they float There's a suit of armor eating scampi by your side When he lifts his visor there's nothing inside So you look for the scampi And you feel like a dwarf Yeah, a dwarf has some fun When there's no one tall to be compared with That's what happens accidentally when you're on a train Everybody's made of gla**, you can see right through their brains When the train goes underwater it gets Green and black as night That's okay, 'cause someone turns on the light Then the fish all come round, And they stare through the gla** So it's you in the bowl 'Cause there's no one else to be compared with
