lyrics

with his shiny head and thick spectacles.
sickly pallid skin and shrinking testicles.
shows his bravery to the united nations.
whispers vague threats to white-thrash relations.

a lighthouse in a desert. a point to swing a pendulum.
his blankness,lack of character,
it's......our good neighbour,gollum.

does not nod his head in anyones direction.
lets it eat him from inside,calls it his education.
allows his ugly wife minister to you .
the teachings of neitzsche and the novels of camus.

a lighthouse in a desert........

each sunrise he bleeps into existence.
cancer gnaws away at his insistence.
wraps his baby in dirty black shroud.
has no need of a nemesis,he is far too proud.

a lighthouse in a desert......
