Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)

Reunion begins with a glass of mercury

Television flickers

With a another news bulletin

Flints light up the eyes of the seated family

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my master scheme

Oh, with a clockwork jerk pluck cogs from fob watches

For dinner on Friday

Then recoiling say "Excuse me

Must go recycle my precious machinery"

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my master scheme

It's ruling our lives, there is no hope

Thought I'd drop a line, the weather here is fine

But day and night it blares

Commanding through loudspeakers

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my master scheme, in my master scheme

Metal is tough, metal is clean

Metal, metal, come on metal

Come on, come on metal

Next time I'll serve metal
