Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence
We were going right through the Alps when we picked up this fabulous scent Of Noel's chemical effluence
Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence
There was a fuss about the elements Waiting for the keyboards as ever The firmament The firmament of it is going out the exit
Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence
There's an inherent disease goes with an inbalance of the juices in the brain That in transit causes one to envisage white faces, as if spiked by mescaline
Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence
And we're going right through the Alps Look what happened at the lodge Look what happened at the castle Look at the red purple vomit stream From the bed, angled right into the bathroom
Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence
On the finger of your banker mind And when all else fails we can always blow your whistle
Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence Noel's chemical effluence
In work, in pleasure, I'll come for you The abdominiser, in excellence
