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.

Paint The Devil On The Wall

truth be told
your soul was sold
the moment you placed your bet
ten minutes late
you tempted fate
and we're calling in the debt

so stand there
at the edge of the platform
close your eyes and let nature take its course
gravity
your old enemy
that old universal law will pull you down

you should never bet on one
'cause my dice have been loaded to roll a six
I'm afraid this fight was fixed
but then again aren't they all
if you paint the devil on the wall
then the devil's gonna come

look at what I'm showing you
optical illusions and visual lies
visualise your space and time
you don't have much of either

look at what I'm offering
an opportunity like none before
one step forward, one step more
and let physics do the rest

Admit it, this is what you wanted all along
Admit it, this is what you wanted all along
Admit it, this is what you wanted all along
Admit it, this is what you wanted all along

you should never bet on one
'cause my dice have been loaded to roll a six six six
I'm afraid this fight was fixed
but then again aren't they all
if you paint the devil on the wall
then the devil's gonna come
