Lyrics

We've been around for a long time and in that time we've written a lot of songs, some in our previous incarnation as Bikini Black Special, and then even more as Zvilnik - so if you fancy a browse through lyrics old and new, fill your boots. Dig into the back catalogue of satirical sinister speculative cabaret, a fusion of science fiction, political satire, grotesque comedy, and theatrical storytelling that's been built up over actual decades.

Gaslighter

Everything you know has been replaced
With a copy that's identical in every single way
Everybody that you know's now a clone
That cannot be distinguished from the people that you knew yesterday
But the problem is you know what's occurred
You're the only one aware of this thing going down
And they'll drop you in the nuthatch
If you say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word

Don't stop now, don't stop here
Don't stop in alligator country
Don't speak up, don't speak out
Don't say a word in alligator country
Don't stop now, don't stop here
Don't stop in alligator country
Don't speak up, don't speak out
Don't say a word

You're aware that it might be in your mind
But it seems so real when you view it from the inside
And you may be on the brink
Of a mental collapse but that's exactly what they want you to think
So you take it on the chin
And keep looking for the lizards underneath their skin
And though it seems absurd
You won't say a word
Don't say a word

I thought I knew who you were
I thought I knew who you were
I thought I knew who you were
I thought I knew who you were

Don't stop now, don't stop here
Don't stop in alligator country
Don't speak up, don't speak out
Don't say a word
