Toto Dies Lyrics

Beating the morning to the farm

Your grimace widens and your lips part

Sounding the silent alarm

And when the bells explode they scatter

Hitching a hand unto the breeze

The grand bureaucracy grows fatter

Whistling the old melodies

Oh-ee-oh goes the Buckingham jewel guard

Oh-ee-oh goes the cop on the beat

Oh-ee-oh goes the kid in the schoolyard

Oh-ee-oh goes the kid on the street

Hey man what's happenin' with you?

I watched that episode too

Oh did I tell you we got Fifi spayed?

And when they get to work they hear drums

The boom fills all the empty space

They file papers lada-dee-dum

Trimming their shoebox with lace

Oh-ee-oh but there's somethin' a growin'

Oh-ee-oh through the bustle and hiss

Oh-ee-oh fuck the lawns that need mowin'

Oh-ee-oh there is somethin' amiss

Oh-ee-oh oh-ee-oh oh-ee-oh

Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh
