The Tiger Lillies - Hippo's Paddling Pool lyrics

The rusty wheel. The garden spring. The rotting sleepers. The Woolsey decay's. Black bin liners Of beetles and earwig's. There is empty sky. There is empty land. Rain has made it wet Like a Hippos paddling pool. The houses of the soft. The sheds of the holy. The pylons over head. Drip like honeydew. The ants scuttle in circles. Rectangles and oblongs. There is empty sky. There is empty land. Rain has made it wet. Like a Hippos paddling pool. The highway mice chortle. The highway mice skree. They live on corn Millet and bread. See them climb Like gymnastic geese. There is empty sky. There is empty land. Rain has made it wet. Like a Hippos paddling pool.
