De Chirico Street - Robyn Hitchcock

I was followed home by a weighing machine

On De Chirico Street

It said what do you know

I said what do you mean

On De Chirico Street

And the numbers turned to fingers

And the fingers turned to flies

And they buzzed around your portrait

I was followed home by a 73

On De Chirico Street

It was advertising you and me

On De Chirico Street

In the photograph we kissed

The conductor's name was Milo

As the bus went past he hissed fleshhead

A hyena sprang she was on all fours

On De Chirico Street

And her outline showed through a strip of gauze

On De Chirico Street

If you meet me by the clock

I can kiss you through the window

Cause you love that sudden shock

Don't moralize

Get on with it

You can go

Now you've discharged all your responsibilties

Now now now now

On De Chirico Street

Well the sundial fell it was oh so black

On De Chirico Street

And the lizard's tail slithered in the crack

On De Chirico Street

And the pale yellow globes

Flickered softly in your window

As you paced the night with strobes

It's the darkest dream

In the whole wide world

On De Chirico Street

It's a bat it's a bat

It's a bat it's a girl

On De Chirico Street

In my pocket nightmares dress

I said Jasper this one's evil

But I love my lioness my lioness
