Lyrics:Easter Theatre

by XTC

Album version:

Gold sun rolls around Chocolate nipple brown Tumble from your arms Like the ground your breasts swell Land awake from sleep Hares will kick and leap Flowers climb erect Smiling from the moist kiss of her rainbow mouth Stage left Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk Stage right Now the son has died, the father can be born Stand up   If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke New life, we'd applaud her new life Odin mounts the tree Bleeds for you and me   Splashing on the lamb Gamboling with spring step Buds will laugh and burst Racing to be first Turning all the soil As the prompter's fingers through her spinning script Stage left Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk Stage right Now the son has died, the father can be born Stand up   If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke New life, we'd applaud her new life Easter... in her bonnet Easter... in her hair Easter... are the ribbons She ties everywhere Stage left Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk Stage right Now the son has died, the father can be born Stand up   If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke In her bonnet Easter... everywhere Easter...
