[Verse]
Millionaires' ward
It creaks right through the night
Tapestries covering
The cracks that line the
Painted stone floors
At sundown metal's warm
And the folks that built it
For some Borgia queen
Still call
[Chorus]
Searle Manor
We turn it up
You make the theatre
I bring the poster
Searle Manor
The third time round
We let it all burn out
But still we hear her now
[Verse]
Diana's ghost of recent past appears pure
Born from the powder
Crystal goblets brimmed
With petro-humour
Panelling painted warm
These pictures glazed
Humid in the end
Denote their aim and name
[Chorus]
Searle Manor
We turn it up
You make the theatre
I bring the poster
Searle Manor
The third time round
We let it all burn out
But still we hear her now
[Verse]
One mile beyond the borders
When Mick strikes in holy darkness and lays
Swamp overplayed
And some swamp plumber's tune breaks
(Instrumental Break)
[Bridge]
That's where Searle lies
Clashing and clashing it up
Was it the Verdant Green
Or was it summer's smile
Like strange and calming scent
Of human praise
Her own joke so unrevealing
Hiding away
[Chorus]
Searle Manor
We turn it up
You make the theatre
I bring the poster
Searle Manor
The third time round
We let it all burn out
But still we hear her now
[Chorus]
Searle Manor
We turn it up
You make the theatre
I bring the poster
Searle Manor
The third time round
We let it all burn out
But still we hear her now
(Instrumental Outro)
