lyrics
The house of order will not fall
That isn't in our protocol
This mighty house forever stands
Over the lone and level sands
Take a drink and maybe then you'll see
No wine stronger than hypocrisy
Here is no need to explain
While they're popping the champagne
Raise a glass in praise of laissez-faire
My, but you look very debonair
So why does your eyelid twitch?
Pull this off without a hitch
The house of order will not fall
That isn't in our protocol
This mighty house forever stands
Over the lone and level sands
Ever the anointed one,
Now it's time to have some fun
Close your eyes and spin around
Unsoiled feet don't touch the ground
Stairways here lead only up
Conscience but a buttercup
In these beds the best will rest
Now, now, don't look so distressed
The house of order will not fall
That isn't in our protocol
This mighty house forever stands
Over the lone and level sands
Check out the view from above
Who would think to give a shove?
Hubris is its own reward
Be a dear, pass that petard
After all, someone must keep control
Stick a posy in that buttonhole
If the past is all our own,
The future holds a waiting throne
The house of order will not fall
That isn't in our protocol
This mighty house forever stands
Over the lone and level sands
