Mayday in Arcadia

In the distance, in the gloom
There's a long procession of deep-sea divers
Coming from an air-tight room
Their dancing lights give a false impression
It will all be over soon

And Baby Ben has just struck ten
Doc says I've only got to do one more session
Some guy named de Sade
Man, he's taking it hard
But I guess he had to learn his lesson

And Neptune's in his palace at the bottom of the sea
And his priests warn Plato that their prophesies
Are turning out to be no fantasy
They say the world will end at 8 o'clock
Father Time gave his blessing at 3

And they've barred the windows
And they're locking the doors
And they're waiting for the shock just like me
And Helen of Troy, she's making love with a boy
Her malice hiding her jealousy

There's not a cloud in sight, it's a sunny day
And there's mermaids all along the shore waiting

Yeah, but they're not sure exactly what for
Virgil's reading back through the Iliad
And Achilles is checking his heel

And God has lost any will that he had
He's just wishing he had 4 wheels
And all the angels in Arcadia
Man, they're screaming for a better deal
They'd like to strike, they say it's their right
But instead they're all made to kneel

And the sun's setting lower
And the wind starts moaning
Who could have known that those red-hot stones'd
Be raining down like flakes of snow
And while they sleep hot death is blown
A fiery curtain is closing the show

Noah's boat, it can't even float
He's on the Royal Telephone
God's chariots, they can't even carry it
Can't even get a dial tone
And it's mayday in Arcadia
All the rats are leaving home
And it's mayday in Arcadia
Man, you'd better get back to your home
It's mayday in Arcadia
Rats!
What else can I say to you?
Either you dig it, or you don't
It's mayday in Arcadia
Ah! You'd better go back to your home
