[Verse 1]
Fold my clothes neatly
Set the table slowly
Sweep the floor gently
Clock is ticking softly
[Pre-Chorus]
They are here in the morning
There in the evening
Wondering when it's time
The choir of marauders
Highest pecking order
No point in trying to hide
[Chorus]
It's just a parliament of rooks
Sitting on the fence, waiting for the word
It's just a parliament of rooks
Oh, I'm not ready to move from this world to the next one
Ready to move from this world to the next one
Summon my soul to the end of the setting sun
A parliament of rooks will move you on
[Verse 2]
Looking at your body
Free from any burden
Don't know where I'm going
Certainly not to heaven
[Pre-Chorus]
They are here in the morning
There in the evening
Wondering when it's time
The choir of marauders
Highest pecking order
No point in trying to hide
[Chorus]
It's just a parliament of rooks
Sitting on the fence, waiting for the word
It's just a parliament of rooks
Oh, I'm not ready to move from this world to the next one
Ready to move from this world to the next one
Summon my soul to the end of the setting sun
A parliament of rooks will move you on
[Outro]
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
