{Verse 1}
The day is long, there is no morning
I touch on nothing but the romance of shame
I may go up with nothing to excite
But a scent that may escape
With my Dracula binocular I turn away to flee
With a shrunken eye and a shrunken dream
{Verse 2}
With legislation blasted, with language that is bad
Adaptable relatives reform
Distant from the nation, honouring the body
Staying in bed to win a seat
The day is long, there is no morning
{Verse 3}
Flagged when aboard, exhausting my patience
Getting to the end of this
Looking for offense, sensitive to mess
I find a body part in a fish
{Refrain}
In a fish
In a fish
In a fish
In a fish
{Verse 4}
Expelled with ill will the girl lost all momentum
Circling imaginary mountains
She sees what’s left and sees what’s left behind
{Outro}
The day is long, there is no morning
The day is long, there is no morning
The day is long, there is no morning
