By the web of umbilical cords
The Circletowers led their shadow lives
Soon, upstairs, soon downstairs
As the puppets from Syrup
Inspired by the men with garters
With their tinware suits
Now I guess you wonder
What caused their disablement?
Wait and see, duplicity!
The grumblers shirked their performance
They were heading for the bullring
To fight the natives
Beneath the bolted trapdoors
Their inconsistent war of extermination
The biggest game of chance
Into the quagmire of eternity
Witness the gartermen's dance
