Easter Theatre

XTC · Apple Venus Volume 1 [1999]

Gold sun rolls aroundChocolate nipple brownTumble from

your armsLike the ground your breasts swellLand awake

from sleepHares will kick and leapFlowers climb erectSmiling

from the moist kiss of her rainbow mouthChorusStage

leftEnter easter and she's dressed in yellow yolkStage

rightNow the son has died,

the father can be bornStand upIf we'd all breathe in

and blow away the smokeNew lifeWe'd applaud a new lifeOdin

mounts the treeBleeds for you and meSplashing on the

lambGamboling with spring's stepBuds will laugh and

burstRacing to be firstTurning all the soilAs the promptress

fingers through her spinning scriptChorusEaster .

.. in her bonnetEaster ...

in her hairEaster ... are the ribbonsShe tied everywhere
