Genesis Supper's Ready song lyrics

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 night time

I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right

And it's, hello, babe, with your guardian eyes so blue

Hey, my baby, don't you know our love is true

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

And it's, hey, babe, your supper's waiting for you

Hey, my baby, don't you know our love is true

I've been so far from here

Far from your loving arms

It's good to feel you again

It's been a long, long time, hasn't it?

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

Can't you see he's fooled you all

Yes, he's here again

Can't you see he's fooled you all

Share his peace, sign the lease.

He's a supersonic scientist

He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man

Look, look into my mouth he cries

And all the children lost down many paths

I bet my life you'll walk inside

Hand in hand, gland in gland

With a spoonful of miracle

He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary

We will rock you, rock you little snake

We will keep you snug and warm
