Think I'll do myself a favour
Let my thoughts dribble down my chin
Mumbo Jumbo got to be the flavour
Know that your ears will let it in
Dada you demon I got no room for reason now

Beat my brains but I can't find a reason
Like a wolf I keep howling at the moon
Maybe it's cos spring is the season
Vibrate my tubes into a tune
Dada you demon I got no room for reason now

Mumbo Jumbo Mumbo Jumbo
Mumbo Jumbo Mumbo Jumbo

Up and away to lose your lingo
Veni Vidi Veni Vici
My motives not devotive to a thing tho'
Sing me your sweet symphony
Dada you demon I got no room for reason now

Talking in tongues my teeth assemble
Chatter no matter what they say
Ooh then my knees begin to tremble
And I twitch all my stitches away

Dada you demon I got no room for reason
Dada you demon I got no room for reason
Dada you demon I got no room for reason
