[Verse 1] Hello my dear I won't be home tonight The war is finally here But there's no need to fight I've heard the news The bombs are on their way I guess this time we lose Everything must burn today [Chorus] The beast is loose I can hear the sirens in the street But what's the use No warning bell can stop that heat So... take a seat It's time to cook the goose [Verse 2] It feels absurd Waiting here to die Without a single word We stood and watched the sky High in the clouds The rockets slowly spun Exploding into shrouds Like drops of white hot sun [Chorus] The beast is loose I can hear the sirens in the street But what's the use No warning bell can stop that heat So ...take a seat It's time to cook the goose [Bridge - passionate Middle 8] I wanted to run I needed to scream [scream in background] I pointed my gun... melting As the nightmare killed the dream Killed the dream Killed the dream [Big David Gilmour Guitar Solo builds more and more to climax] [Long outro fade repeat same as original track] It's time to cook the goose 'Cause the beast is loose So cook the goose 'Cause the beast is loose So cook the goose It's time to cook the goose 'Cause the beast is loose So cook the goose 'Cause the beast is loose So cook the goose
