Lavish Night Ahead

Mass is done for the day

The dancers

Dance their welcome kisses

The soundcheck voice

Sings The Great Pretender


Mass

In the small chapel

For no more than a dozen

In this city of a million souls

Shame on you, the non-believers


Non-believers such as I

Non-believers such as you

Who keep this religion alive

By paying with hard cash for our curiosity

By paying with hard cash for our intrigue


For the faith in the self

Is not ever without doubt

However close the silence

The Kula Shaker is always Govinda

While the mouse-mat, it always squeals


Caught once more

By the soprano

Caught once more

By those angels of the gods

Who continue to sing their welcome
