Momus Permagasm Lyrics

Your own Torquato Tasso
Born to treat you well
With his Hiawatha
His own private gazelle

Your Borneo adventure
Your best non-corvid bird
He's the praying mantis
Tangled in your skirt

Scaramouche the shepherd
Beauty leg number one
The bee that blunders densely
Blunders to the sun

Then comes the permagasm
And, oh, you've come so long
Your white bird flying up from
The chasm of the sun

Your own Torquato Tasso Your shepherd and your flute
The bronze drum on your hillside
The oven on your roof

My own "Inner Mongolian
Cow Sour Yoghurt Supergirl"
The core of all agreement
Softer than the world
(Softer than the world)
(Softer than the world)

Then comes the permagasm
And, oh, you've come so long
A white bird flying up from
A black Mongolian drum

(Your own Torquato Tasso)
(Born to treat you well)
(With his Hiawatha)
