Spirogyra - The Sergeant Says lyrics

The sergeant says you got to turn down the lights It's the things you keep concealed that make you safe in the night Not the stars The sergeant says that if there's room at the top He'll be sure to let you through to give the things that you've got If you fit We've been living on air, oh yeah We've been living on air, oh yeah The sergeant says that if you're nearing the phone Will you kindly check transmission as the metres have gone Out of phase And I suggest that if you're thinking of her Then the best thing you can do is to forget she exists And get on You've been living on air, oh yeah You've been living on air And she lives in her block or flat She's always on her own I try to get in touch with her But she's not on the phone And every path in you you lead It's never where you are The stars that blow into the night Are never very far And so I play the game of the gone insane And the never-never-never-can-tells And I try my best to get on through the test Of the never-never-never-can-tells I'm becoming aware, oh yeah I'm becoming aware, oh yeah So this may well be the last song I write Cause I can't touch the truth when the words don't seem right Well who cares I leave you now with a silent salute To the man dressed in armor who has stolen your youth And your charm We've been living on air, oh yeah We've been living on air And one day I will find a way To save her from a plight It may well take a million years But she will see the light Because I've had enough of the hootchie-coo And the never-never-never-can-tells Yeah I'm going back to the human zoo To see if animals are relatives of mine To see if animals are relatives of mine To see if animals are relatives, if animals are relatives, if animals are relatives of mine
