          Lyrics

          Testing
          Mollusc (role)
          Ziggurat grave 
          Tombstone states
          [ ] to Tyrol
          [ ] back on your streets (slave)
          Destined to meet

          To Weymouth on back [ ] 
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)

          I scrub the wall, circle, bisexual and [ ] mollusc
          M O D L L U S C
          Check the number

          I'm a mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          The mollusc was a friend of Tony from Austria

          I'm a mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)

          I'm a mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          Mollusc
          [ ]
          Mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          Ziggurat grave
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          Mollusc
          M O L 
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          Mollusc
          Ziggurat grave
          Tombstone states
          [ ] whisky
          [ ] destined to meet

          The mollusc to get to (white limpets) 
          It slithered the roads
          Slithered
          Tyrol

          I'm a mollusc (role)
          The mollusc, to get to (white limpets)
          It slithered the roads
          To the Tyrol
          To the Tyrol

          I'm a mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          Tuesday [ ] to Martin
          Tuesday [ ] to Martin
          But the braggart had crushed his heart
          Like a tiny Edelweiss 
          Billy braggart had crushed his heart 
          And the blood sucked to Vienna airport
          Its trail mingled
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          I'm a mollusc (role)
          Vienna airport
          Its trail mingled
