Container of Drudgery (Never Had a Name)

Lyrics

When mice get ready with this song quick Strange, odd lyrics drenched in mathematics

In your steam-like gown You block the corridors

Don't you want to rule your fellow man one day?

Do you remember how we sat together Doings-in and strikes on the head The iron was still hot I burnt my finger

We will play with this But that is forbidden That is even a solid fact for me

Now we have a chamber of amber A Bernsteinzimmer Our private property Shoes, clothes Bankrupts of astringency

The iron was still hot I burnt my fingers I burnt my fingers

Call up lion, monkey, flower Dragonfly, treefrog Morpheus and disaster Dead babies' teeth A discouraging word

Never had a name Never had a name Never had a name Never had a name
