Keep Your Powder Dry

In a ministry of food and fishery
Faceless actuaries cook up the chemistry
Listening to Fred Ellis on an MP3
Fries in the ointment, pimping a pharmacy
You did ketamine and ephedrine
I see a methamphetamine
This mess you're in, how much debt you're in
Tears in your eyes as you reach for the ventriloquism

When you're dancing in the dark
Keep a flame in your heart
Keep your powder dry
When the war blows apart
And night, it covers small
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry

Looking iconic, dressing Byronic
Talking Masonic, architectonic
Taking colonic, feeling bionic
Beating ironic with your gin and tonic
You were talking 'bout when you started out
And you started up your magic roundabout
Now you part it out, you just tart it up
And you cart it out and you tart it out

When you're dancing in the dark
Keep a flame in your heart
Keep your powder dry
When the war blows apart
And night, it covers small
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry

If they can see you, they can harm you
They will bleed you and then bomb you
They will feed you, they will farm you
We will heat you, we will harm you
If they can see you, they can harm you
They will bleed you and then bomb you
They will feed you, they will farm you
We will heat you, we will harm you
