Esposito sitting patiently
MacInally sitting patiently
In the Chevy sitting patiently through the night
Sippin’ coffee, sitting patiently
Shootin’ the breeze sitting patiently
In the building, nothing to be seen in the night
They’ve got to stake it out
To see who might come out - bad guys, bad guys
Through the night
To the morning
From the sunset to the sunrise
Taking turns to catch a little shut-eye
MacInally sitting patiently
Esposito sitting patiently
Talking softly, sitting patiently every night
Watching closely, sitting patiently
Yawning slowly, sitting patiently
In the Chevy starting to give in to the night
They’ve got to stay awake
To sleep is a mistake,
Bad guys, bad guys
Through the night
To the morning
Heavy lids from sleep they’re denied
They can’t help but grab a little shut-eye
Sleeping cops - let them lie

When I saw The Ancient Ones - they looked cold
When I saw The Ancient Ones - they looked cold
And so tired.
When I saw The Ancient Ones - they looked down
When I saw The Ancient Ones - they looked down in the dumps
They looked down in the dumps.
In their halls of ancient stone they sat, glum
And they talked about their woes in a forgotten tongue.
In a forgotten tongue.
When the world was younger than young
Giants roamed and they worshipped the Sun
They were lost underground
Now they’re found but they’re old
And the years took a toll on them.
When I saw The Ancient Ones, they stood still
When I saw The Ancient Ones, they stood still, they stood sad
And so quiet.

Mrs May, sitting in the tea shop
All alone and staring at her teapot
At the counter, waiting like every day
Hey hey.
Distant sound, kinda like a thunder
Knows about it - doesn’t have to wonder
They’re a-comin’- customers are on their way
Hey hey!
Mrs May, looks for her umbrella
Storm’s a-brewin’ so the telly tells her
Cleans the counter
Puts her cuppas on display
Hey hey.
Here they come and here they turn their nose up
Brew is weak and they don’t like like the teacup
Shuts the shop but doesn’t want to walk away
Hey hey - you know, there is another way...
Chorus
Mrs May
Let your arms and legs go loose and you can
Dance like there is no tomorrow
Mrs May
Run through fields of wheat and find a place to
Dance like there is no tomorrow.
Mrs May sitting in the evening
Cat on lap and doesn’t stop believing
Folks are going to drink her tea one sunny day
Hey hey.
Spins the grouts and tips into the saucer
Will they drink or will they just ignore her?
Fingers crossed for what the leaves are gonna say
Hey hey - You know there is another way...
Chorus
Mrs May
Let your arms and legs go loose and you can
Dance like there is no tomorrow
Mrs May
Run through fields of wheat and find a place to
Dance like there is no tomorrow.

What is down there?
Do you know? Have you been there?
Down in the depths, of the Mariana Trench
You will find life. There are some ancient souls
There is no sun but their lights will always shine.
It's such a rotten mess. Down there.
It's such a rotten mess.
It's such a rotten mess - Plastic rot clogging up the thermal vents.
Plastic rot choking all the fishes
Plastic tat choking all the fishes
Plastic crap choking all the fishes now (it's such a rotten mess)
And they know they’ve got to leave there
And they know they’ve got to leave there
And they know they’ve got to leave there
And they know they’ve got to leave there
What is up there?
In the waves, on the dry land?
They want to share - all the creatures from below
Now they arrive
With tentacles and lights
Making their way to the sun and shallow sea.
It's such a rotten mess - up here
It's such a rotten mess
It's such a rotten mess
Plastic grot spread across the firmament
Plastic rot floating in the shallows
Plastic bags messing up the wallows
Plastic trash scattered on the riverbeds
Plastic crap choking up the beaches
Plastic tat covering the meadows
Plastic shite floating everywhere they went
And they know they’ve got to leave there
Where to go? It’s everywhe-ere!
So they rise into the ai-air
And they leave the Earth forever
