[00:15.794] Two lightning bolts were delivered to my room,
[00:20.015] They were gifts from Zeus.
[00:24.154] I rock the bolts in a bassinet of pine.
[00:28.295] People ask me how I am,
[00:30.901] I say I’m all right, I’m fine.
[00:40.785] I push the lightning bolts in a pram,
[00:43.253] Till the sun goes down and it gets dark,
[00:48.181] And the girls from Jubilee Street hang out their windows,
[00:52.170] And they wave and ask me how I am tonight.
[00:55.985] I say I’m good, I’m all right.
[01:06.553] In Athens all the youths are crying from the gas.
[01:12.414] I’m by the hotel pool working on a tan.
[01:17.777] People come up and ask me who I am.
[01:21.738] I say if you don’t know, don’t ask.
[01:25.916] Zeus laughs – but it’s the gas.
[01:29.949] And he asks me how I am.
[01:32.993] I say Zeus, don’t ask.
[01:42.648] My lightning bolts are jolts of joy,
[01:45.876] They are joy boys from Zeus.
[01:49.605] I feed them porridge in their booster seats of knowledge.
[01:54.737] And in the cradle of democracy, the pigeons are wearing gas masks.
[02:04.860] My lightning bolts play in the elevators,
[02:09.654] They slide down the hotel banister,
[02:13.046] And Zeus throws a gas canister,
[02:15.991] And it spins around the pool,
[02:19.619] As pigeons wearing respirators steal the lightning bolts.
[02:24.579] Zeus wants them back.
[02:27.466] O my bolts of joy,
[02:31.058] O my darling little boys.
[02:34.114] They are lost to us.
[02:36.736] And people...
[02:39.130] They are never coming back.
[02:45.721] At night I watch them sleep,
[02:49.599] And cry years of tears,
[02:52.629] And it’s not the gas.
[02:55.844] People ask me how we are
[02:59.288] We are, I say, mostly lost.
