Hi LiLeigh!

There are some other ones too on the same site - I think the Musical Box one is up to par. I hope you enjoy them! It is so wonderful to see someone like myself so obviously enraptured by the brilliance of Genesis and related!
Cheers!

Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. *The repeated errors of the Cold War Age - proxy wars, stockpiling etc
Share his peace, *the uneasy balance of power between the U.S. & the Soviet Union
Sign the lease. *through the clear capability of both parties' Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD)
He's a supersonic scientist, *Dr. Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project reference, perhaps?
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. *Leaders of SuperPower Governments
Look, look into my mouth he cries, *The place from whence political mistruths and misdirection springs forth
And all the children lost down many paths, *We, the people (children), who innocently & trustingly follow said leaders
I bet my life you'll walk inside *We are the one's who will inevitably "walk inside" the fire of the atomic bomb, hand-in-hand
Hand in hand, * versus our Leaders as they take refuge inside such subterranean military/gov't bomb shelter structures
gland in gland *remember, that when radioactive fallout/exposure is absorbed, by humans - it affects the Thyroid gland.
With a spoonful of miracle, *radioactive iodine can be blocked from absorption by replacing it with Potassium Iodide - often
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. *reg handed out by the Gov't in the '50's in the form of liquid or pills, to its citizens.
We will rock you, rock you little snake, *to hold the Atomic Bomb key to the Age of Nuclear War is, indeed, holding the Snake
We will keep you snug and warm *who resides in our more modern Garden of Eden, here on 20th (21st) Century Earth.
