Laughing now?

We're coming, we're coming, Leo
We're coming, we're coming, Leo
But you will not appreciate anything on your life
until your life veers straight to the cross
Full autobiograph self-pity crap
Searching now, you happy now x4
We're coming, we're coming, Leo x3
They shall be filled with grit, curry and karaoke
We are do-nowts
We are do-nowts
Happy now?
You happy now x3
Pumpkin head escapes
Pumpkin head escapes
We're coming, we're coming, Leo
We're coming, we're coming, Leo
Smell, clogged up the trains
We are not adults
We are crusty mystics
Laughing now?
You happy now?
Laughing now?
You happy now?
We're coming, we're coming, Leo x3
Dear Gormless, go about your business
A nightmarish scheme of horrendous proportions
I, as the producer, think the dark crystal moon looked blue faced into my snatch
