Lyrics
Pass me that lovely little gun My dear, my darting one The cleaners are coming, one by one You don't even want to let them start
They are knocking now upon your door They measure the room, they know the score They're mopping up the butcher's floor Of your broken little hearts
O children
Forgive us now for what we've done It started out as a bit of fun Here, take these before we run away The keys to the gulag
O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice
Here comes frank and poor old jim They're gathering round with all my friends We're older now, the light is dim And you are only just beginning
O children
We have the answer to all your fears It's short, it's simple, it's crystal dear It's round about, it's somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings
O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice
The cleaners have done their job on you They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove They've hosed you down, you're good as new They're lining up to inspect you
O children
Poor old jim's white as a ghost He's found the answer that was lost We're all weeping now, weeping because There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice
Hey little train! we are all jumping on The train that goes to the kingdom We're happy, ma, we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station
Hey, little train! wait for me! I once was blind but now I see have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Hey little train! wait for me! I was held in chains but now I'm free I'm hanging in there, don't you see In this process of elimination
Hey little train! we are all jumping on The train that goes to the kingdom We're happy, ma, we're having fun It's beyond my wildest expectation
Hey little train! we are all jumping on The train that goes to the kingdom We're happy, ma, we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station
