Archimedes - John Cale

Keep me away

From a naked flame

I am made of vapour and I will explode

There's been something rattling in the closet trying to get out

The car antennas gone missing

It's out there somewhere

Cruising the streets

Archimedes and me

Go back a ways

Archimedes and me

Both married in our own way

To old ideas in new clothes

The good will goddess passed us by

We were satisfied with that

When your drive down

Pacific palisades

You can see he made the desert bloom

Archimedes and me

Archimedes and me

There's been something rattling in the closet trying to get out

The car antennas missing

The rest of it will be gone soon

Archimedes and me

Archimedes you

Archimedes and me

Archimedes you

Archimedes and me
