Grand Guignol - Momus

Grim song, but everything’s fine

I’m always your monkey and I’m going down on beautiful

Sunshine in my private life, but people are strange alone in the night

Today has been just awful far beyond the mean

Someone scissored through an orphan’s eyes

The brain surgeon turned out to be a total loser

The weather brought a horrible surprise

Someone got attacked with acid in revenge

For the human sacrifice occurring at Stonehenge

I think I’m going to change the newspaper I take

They must have printed all this by mistake

Stop the press, stop it all

Cropping our monstrosities up against the wall

This isn’t how we rise, it must be how we fall

Is this what they call Grand Guignol?

Grim song, but everything’s fine

I’m always your monkey and I’m going down on beautiful

Sunshine in my private life, but people are strange alone in the night

Another day of mayhem far beyond the mean

A lunatic hacked off an athlete’s arms

The Kumamons escaped, creating carnage in Japan

You’d think Godzilla had done enough harm

Someone set the old museum mummies all on fire

The inferno blazed from Fleet Street to St Paul’s

A future Dalai Lama got knocked over by a train

I hope someone responsible is catching this on film

Stop the press, stop it all

Cropping our monstrosities up against the wall

This isn’t how we rise, it must be how we fall

Is this what they call Grand Guignol?
