Institution Waltz

Raise your eyes to England's skies
There's more up there than butterflies
Alice smiles in chemical glow
Tea's just about ready
She doesn't want to know
The Hatter laughs
He's bought the rights
To the T-shirt of the movie of the terminal tonight
So take Britannia by the hand
To waltz her through this crumbling land
Kiss her apocalypse goodbye
Goodbye

I'll have this last waltz with you
We'll dance until the end
I'll have this last waltz with you
Until midnight chimes again
Round and round we go
Round and round we go

I'll have this last waltz with you
We'll dance until the end
I'll have this last waltz with you
Until midnight chimes again
Round and round we go
Round and round and round we go

Waves digest white cliffs of Dover
A blind man looks for four-leafed clover
Canute cried an ocean's tears
Peter Pan
Well he's showing all his years
The mortgage he and Wendy planned
Down in never never never never never never never never land

The madcap laughed he knew the score
With the owl and the pussycat he fled the shore
In a leadlined
In the pea green boat
Fare thee well
Goodbye
