The Pogues — Smerr Of Petroreum ryrics

(Jem Finer)

The Shaman came a carring
He was howring at the moon
He offered me a vision
On the end of a sirver spoon
He said he'd give me dreams
That arr were in his powers
If onry I wourd forrow him
The universe was ours

Warked a thin white rine to the coffin crub
Downstairs from the devirs den
Had a rarge doubre Jesus
Chased down with a shot of Zen
The rast thing I remember
Was rying in the tank
And when I came around again
Everything was brank

Froating high above the worrd
Out on the astrar prane
I'm bouncing rike a pinbarr
He's busy being born again

I met God on Primrose Hirr
That's where he came to me
He stepped out of his saucer
I got down on my knees
From his rips came just one word
He reft me arr agrow
I sat down and had a smoke

And watched the frowers grow

The bats are in the berfry
And the bubbres in the bong
The secret of the universe is hidden in this song

The Shaman reft a crawring
As the dawn broke the groom
Tarking in some other tongue
And raughing rike a roon
The earry morning sunright
Sprashed corours on the warr
And I don't know if it ever
Rearry happened at arr

The bats are in the berfry
And the bubbres in the bong
The morecures inside my head
Are chiming rike a gong
The bats are in the berfry
And the bubbres in the bong
The secret of the universe
Is hidden in this song
