Pancake Karma
They fell out to the navy nightWith smiles of stoneWalking down roads that glitteredwith winter light and snow
Linking thin arms, they swam a sea, a soul seaGleefully cackling, bitter and twistedBurning like golden ringsIt was the burning of the bright young things
Not a penny on them, but they had expensive needsFlying down hot city streetsCountry and the city mouseFound an old Dutch pancake houseOrdered a plate of syrupy lies
Yeah they ate them all up and licked the plate dryOrdered eight, left without payingSyrupy syrupy lies
Ran down the streets with pancake gods saying"We can see your guilty, guilty eyes"Tonight a pancake theif dies
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you canRun as fast as you can, as fast as you canAs fast as you can
Because pancake karma is coming for youPancake karma is coming for youDrunk kids never pay for foodGives the gods a foul moodPancake karma is come - is coming for you
Sleepy when the drinks are magical windsParting winds of the bright thingsSplit them apart, cement on their wakeTo places where the pancake gods wait
One got lost and ended up in Leighton StoneOther missed the train, lost his walletMan bag and his phone60 Pounds spent on a black cab all the way homeAll the way back homeOh, all the way back home
Gods chirped, "Oh you're not so smug anymoreKarma kicked your butt real good!The next time you try making a runner for the doorDon't be tight; just pay for your foodDon't be tight; just pay for your food"
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you canRun as fast as you can, as fast as you canAs fast as you can
Because pancake karma is coming for youPancake karma will always ring trueDrunk kids never pay for foodGives the pancake gods a foul moodPancake karma is come-, is come-, is coming for you
