Going by Czukay’s description of Tago Mago being “an attempt in achieving a mystery musical world from light to darkness and return", this song marks where the album returns to light.
Noticeably more relaxed than the rest of the album, the song uses middle-eastern inspired rhythms to create a sense...
[Verse 1]
You just smile at me, you're just on my knee
Bring me coffee or tea, call me "pretty little bee"
Whisper in my ear and you're still my parent's friend
Throw me out of my bag, you ask me "Are you dead?"
[Refrain]
I feel pretty in the chimney, I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney, I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney, I feel
[Verse 2]
You just smile at me, you're just on my knee
Bring me coffee or tea, call me "pretty little bee"
Whisper in my ear and you're still my parent's friend
Throw me out of my bag, ask me "Are you dead, dead, dead?"
[Bridge]
You just smile at me
You're just on my knee
[Refrain]
And I feel, I feel pretty in the chimney, I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney, I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney, yes, I'm again
I feel pretty in the chimney, yes, I'm again
I feel pretty in the chimney, yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again, yes, I'm again
Oh!
Yes, I'm again, yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again, yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again, yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again, yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again
