Lyrics The Monochrome Set

The Monochrome Set

On The 13th Day

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

Corrugated horse flesh candy in lime marmalade

Dolphin heads in aspic with a butterfly brocade

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

Lyre-birds in a stained glass cage, with lightning rods as plumes

Double-jointed black men playing leap-frog on the moon

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

Sea foam in a snow white shroud, red herrings round its teeth

Puffball spores exploding on a bed of burning wreaths

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

Venus fly-trap tigers of a tin-foil tapestry

Timber moles in mustard, warbling in a minor key

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me
