Genesis - Supper’s Ready
[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
Walking across the sitting room
I turn the television off
Sitting beside you
I look into your eyes
As the sound of motor cars
Fades in the nighttime
I swear I saw your face change
It didn't seem quite right
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And it's, "Hello, babe
With your guardian eyes so blue
Hey, my baby
Don't you know our love is true?"
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
Coming closer with our eyes
A distance falls around our bodies
Out in the garden
The moon seems very bright
Six saintly shrouded men
Move across the lawn slowly
The seventh walks in front
With a cross held high in hand
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And it's, "Hey, babe
Your supper's waiting for you
Hey, my baby
Don't you know our love is true?"
[Post-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
I've been so far from here
Far from your warm arms
It's good to feel you again
It's been a long, long time, hasn't it?
[Interlude: Phil Collins & Mike Rutherford]
(Ahh, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ahh, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ahh, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ahh, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
I know a farmer who looks after the farm
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest
I know a fireman who looks after the fire, ahh
[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel]
You, can't you see he's fooled you all?
Yes, he's here again (Ahh)
Can't you see he's fooled you all?
Share his peace, sign the lease (Ahh-ahh)
He's a supersonic scientist (Ahh-ahh)
He's a guaranteed eternal sanctuary man (Ahh)
[Verse 4: Peter Gabriel]
"Look, look into my mouth," he cries
"And all the children lost down many paths (Ahh)
I bet my life you'll walk inside"
Hand in hand, gland in gland (Ahh-ahh)
With a spoonful of miracle (Ahh-ahh)
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary— (Ahh)
[Interlude]

[Verse 5: Peter Gabriel]
Wearing feelings on our faces
While our faces took a rest
We walked across the fields
To see the children of the West
But we saw a host of dark-skinned warriors
Standing still below the ground
Waiting for battle!
[Verse 6: Peter Gabriel]
Fight's begun, they've been released
Killing foe for peace
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
And they're giving me a wonderful potion
'Cause I cannot contain my emotion
And even though I'm feeling good
Something tells me I'd better
Activate my prayer capsule
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 7: Peter Gabriel]
Today is a day to celebrate
The foe have met their fate
The order for rejoicing and dancing
Has come from our warlord
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 8: Peter Gabriel]
Wandering in the chaos the battle has left
We climb up a mountain of human flesh
To a plateau of green grass
And green trees full of life
A young figure sits still by a pool
He's been stamped "Human Bacon"
By some butchery tool, he is you
Social Security took care of this lad
We watch in reverence as Narcissus is turned to a flower
A flower?
[Verse 9: Peter Gabriel, ]
If you go down to Willow Farm
To look for butterflies or flutter-byes or gutter-flies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise
Everyone lies like the fox on the rocks
And the musical box
Oh, there's mum and dad and good and bad ()
And everyone's happy to be here
[Verse 10: Peter Gabriel, ]
There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag
He used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick
The brick was an egg, the egg was a bird
(Fly away, you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
Haven't you heard?
(They're going to change you into a human being! *laughter*)
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese ()
And wonderfully clean in the morning ()
[Bridge: Peter Gabriel]
We've got everything, we're growing everything
We've got some in, we've got some out
We've got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we're changing everyone
You name them all, we've had them here
And the real stars are still to appear
(*whistle* All change!)
[Verse 11: Peter Gabriel, ]
Feel your body melt
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad-diddley-office, dad-diddley-office
You're all full of ball
Dad to dam to dum to mum
Mum-diddley-washing, mum-diddley-washing
Woo, you're all full of ball
Let me hear your lies
We're living this up to the eyes, ooey-ooey-ah
Mama, I want you now ()
[Verse 12: Peter Gabriel, , ]
And as you listen to my voice ()
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause ()
You've been here all the time, like it or not ()
Like what you got, you're under the soil ()
()
Yes, deep in the soil
()
So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang (*whistle, bang*) ()
And all of us fit in our places ()
[Part VI: Apocalypse in 9/8 (Co-Starring the Delicious Talents of Gabble Ratchet)]
[Flute Solo]
[Verse 13: Peter Gabriel]
With the guards of Magog swarming around
The Pied Piper takes his children underground
Dragons coming out of the sea
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me
He brings down the fire from the skies
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes
Better not compromise, it won't be easy
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 14: Peter Gabriel]
666 is no longer alone
He's getting out the marrow in your backbone
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock 'n' roll
Gonna blow right down inside your soul
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And it's, "Hey, babe
With your guardian eyes so blue
Hey, my baby
Don't you know our love is true?"
[Post-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
I've been so far from here
Far from your loving arms
Now, I'm back again
And babe, it's gonna work out fine
[Part VII: As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)]
[Verse 15: Peter Gabriel]
Can't you feel our souls ignite?
Shedding ever-changing colours
In the darkness of the fading night
Like the river joins the ocean
As the germ in a seed grows
We've finally been freed to get back home
[Verse 16: Peter Gabriel]
There's an angel standing in the Sun
And he's crying with a loud voice
"This is the supper of the mighty one"
Lord of lords, king of kings
Has returned to lead his children home
To take them to the New Jerusalem!
[Instrumental Outro]
