Lord of the Hornets |
Asleep in a hive in the base of a hollow tree |
Behind a she’d in a garden in Norbury |
And when he whispers commands in his megaphone |
They swarm to his call and he knows that he’s not alone |
He’s lord of the hornets |
He’s lord of the hornets |
As a tiger wing drones in a hive of industry |
Each has a place and will be what it must be Queen’s a machine on a larva production line |
Laying antenna-ed troops on the stings in a paper mine |
Lord of the hornets |
Lord of the hornets |
Hornets |
Lord of the hornets |
Lord of the hornets |
Asleep in a hive in the base of a hollow tree |
Behind a she’d in a garden in Norbury |
And when he whispers commands in his megaphone |
They swarm to his call and he knows that he’s not alone |
He’s lord of the hornets |
Lord of the hornets |
Hornets |
