Hive Lyrics by Fatima Mansions, The

Hive Lyrics

    Do you think they could see us in this base circumstance
    You with blood on your knees and me with my hand down your pants?
    If a lad wears a dress then won't george want his sex?
    [as his explorers buy butt] sex operation, decision time's come
    At the end of our useful lives

    We're out of the hive
    We must be groovin'
    We're out of the hive
    In the land of the black and white minstrels

    What do you call him, boyfriend or [flat bone]?
    He's a sensitive artist--come on, let's leave him alone

    You've got to watch the blind
    I said you've got to watch the blind
    On the day of the [morning] festival
    The bleakest afternoon of the season
    All drones everywhere arise from mildewed states of unconsciousness
    And go to celebrate their condition in the abandoned village greens
    Where the fairground is down
    With its revolving towers of burning colored lights
    And its roaring tin can music, its people and fumes
    Drunks stagger everywhere
    And paw each other in the half-light at the edge of the confusion

    Out of the hive
    We must be groovin'
    We're out of the hive
    We're out of the hive
    We're out of the hive now
    We might as well come and die
    We're out of the hive
    In the land of the black and white minstrels
    Hallelujah!

    Do you think they can see us? oh, i do hope they can
    They can do me a favor and bury you where you stand!
