Lyrics[edit | edit source]

She's got me here

She breaks my global-sphere (in half!)

She feeds me bread

Smears pudding on my head


Turquoise skin, we're mutant in the bin

Everybody say Gladiola Heartbreaker

Gladiola Heartbreaker, oh!


I spill my lungs

10,000 golden tongues (blow)

Blow-dry your hair

Shaved junkies with no care


Turquoise skin, we're mutant in the bin

Everybody say Gladiola Heartbreaker

Gladiola oh!


I'm in the node

Oneness with the chode

Only the Inca know

Whether you can tell I'm in my flow


Turquoise skin, we're mutant in the bin

Everybody say Gladiola Heartbreaker

Gladiola Gladiola Gladiola Gladiola Gladiola Gladiola Gladiola Heartbreaker, Woah, Oh, Shit, Aw![2]
