lyrics

I am king george kind of the poor
I love to read my books
I study science show off my inventions
so that everyone can have a look
but lately of late I’ve been making mistakes
I can’t get my words straight
so I stay in the halls scoffing at walls
my cage needs a nicer paint

delirium swallows me in a warm wet embrace
the gulp of heaven

the son with my name has stolen the reigns
my head rings with whispers
an a strange woman, confused or drunk
insists I bed with her

delirium swallows me in a warm wet embrace
the gulp of heaven
oblivion hallowed seas don’t fight the waves
the gulp of heaven

an unmoved pond, an August sky
I see my land, my son, my wife
no longer plagued by the dark cave
I know what is needed done
I know what’s needed done

my daughter has found an officer from the grounds
he’s filling her head with tales
sad amelia the poor the french are on the shore
and the consumption will never quell
died on a diseased bed, I must return to my head
where I can hear the ocean swell

delirium swallows me in a warm wet embrace
the gulp of heaven
oblivion hallowed seas don’t fight the waves
the gulp of heaven
