36 hours
36 hours in the mystery chair
36 hours in the quizzical glare
Of the naked lights and the visible hardware
Another bloke is leaving in a wheelchair
No joke, here comes the punchline
Lights out… sack time
Steel shoes on the stone cold floor
I hear the screws screaming in the corridor
The bad news and the slammin’ of the door
The “what did i do’s” and the “what am I here for’s”
Shades of doubt fall deeper than the slag mine
Lights out… sack time
Hard cheese and a chest complaint
One man sneezes, another two faint
Sufferin’ jesus, this ain’t my venue
The man through the mesh says it’s time to crash
The creeping flesh of a nervous rash
The last man to make a dash
Is on the menu
Here’s the boss with a mouthful of emeralds
A maltese cross and a pocket full of chemicals
Jack frost snappin’ at the genitals
Wash my cosh it’s a visit from the general
Rule out sub section nine
Lights out… sack time
The killer gorilla with the perspex hat
Says I say so… and that’s that
Take out the dog bring back the cat
Scrape out the cafeteria rats
Stab the rabbit feed the swine lights out… sack time
Time flies … slides down the wall
Part of me dies under my overalls
I close my eyes and a woman calls
From a nightmare
The chronic breath of the dead collides
With a rattle of the waste disposal slides
No flowers for the man who dies
In the bombscare
He’s in the frigidaire
Freezing in these paper jeans
Standing stiff in a dead man’s dream
Tobacco barons and the closet queen
Walk on the walls… wank in the beans
Shave… shit… a shower and a shoe shine
That’s it… sack time
Everybody looks like ernest borgnine
That’s it
36 hours on the battery farm
A blindfold and a broken arm
I got the cold shoulder sleepin’ in the barn
Whose barn… what barn… their barn
The old soldier and his old-world charm
Lift that weight, drag that woodbine
Lights out mate sackarooni time
Lights out… sack time
