Johnny came up with this really weird but oh so cool lyric inspired by Mr. Icke. George suggested something out of "Dr. Who", while I had a Syd Barrett moment.
This is the result!!!.
This proved to be a fun collaboration in the end. Lots of good chatter in there between the Lizard Lounge gang.
The collab was superbly marshalled by Steffen, who wove together the super vocals from George, the throbbing toms driven drums from "new boy" Marcel, Steffen's atmospheric keys and SFX, as well as the other tracks, to create a nicely balanced mix.
A big thank you to you, Steffen. And a special mention to Marcel, congratulations on your first completed collab with a fine drumming performance!!
AndyD - thanks for those little guitar fills, I know you were hard pressed for time but you pulled it off.
Cheers
Andy

Lizard men are living in the center of the Hollow Earth
Em B Am D
Lizard men are living in the center of the Hollow Earth
Gm C Gm C
They barter our souls they take what they can for whatever their worth
Gm C Gm C
They gorge on the misery that feeds their sense of mirth
Bflat C Gm riff
Dragging our minds into the confines of darkest space
Bflat C D B B
keeping us blind so we toe the line we run in place

Lizard men are living on the top of a pyramid scheme
Lizard men live on the top of a pyramid ........scheme
They fatten their stock playing devious schemes on our foolish dreams
With the tools that money can buy that power can bring
They are burrowed inside with the wealth they hide in the secret vaults
Plotting the charts that will lead to the path of total control

Am Bm
Their eyes are yellow and their bite is sharp
C Bm Am
big, suited narrow minds an' they feed like sharks
Am Bm
Sucking out the marrow from our mammal bones
C Bm Am
While they live like Pharaohs in the catacombs
(br2)
Am Bm
their game is to turn us into happy slaves
C Bm D
From the moment of birth till we're in our graves
Am Bm
The Zealots will run with their hearts ablaze
C Bm B
and the flock will follow right to the end of days
Solo

Their eyes are yellow and their bite is sharp
big, narrow minds an' they feed like sharks
Sucking out the marrow from our mammal bones
While they live like Pharaohs in their catacombs
Dragging our minds into the confines of a deep dark space
They live burrowed inside with the wealth they hide in the secret vaults
