Lyrics
From the interstellar combination
The colours were brown and cream
And he gets pre-psicognition everywhere he goes
It screams psi-cog from doorways
And upper shut-off windows
He had a brain with a weight of four ounces
His psi-cog was very advanced
And quick justice not his stick
He wasn't taking any crap from you dick
But he got a dose of a psi-cog
He got a dose of a psi-cog dream
I feel it shouting at him from the floatarium
And the cauldron or rectum of its love, baby
It was hectoring him
It was shouting at him
It was telling him things
It was hectoring him
It was lecturing him
It was hectoring him
Psi-cog dream
It was shouting at him
It was hectoring him
It was lecturing him
Behind tormentor was wolverine
Dream
From the cauldron of its love, baby
He was locked in sauna
Steam bath and massage
Floatarium, it was the figure
Hectoring him from the sunbed of its love, baby
It had a home with three minds
It was looking at glasses through him
It was floating on the floatarium of its love, baby
It was shouting at him
It was hectoring him
It was lecturing him
It was lying to him
It was lecturing him
It was hectoring him
It was shouting at him
It was lecturing him
Sweat envelops him
Psi-cog dream
His boss shouting at him
It was lecturing him
It was hectoring him
It was shouting at him
It was singing to him
It was hexes at him
It was pouting at him
It was lecturing him
Psi-cog dream
From the lectern of its love, baby
Psi-cog dream
Bombast [ ]
No boast
Dream
