In the next world war
In a jack knifed juggernaut,
I am born again.

In the neon sign,
Scrolling up and down,
I am born again.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In a deep deep sleep,
Of the innocent,
I am born again.

In a fast German car,
I'm amazed that I survived,
An airbag saved my life.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does....

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That's it, sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting.
The smell of the warm summer air.

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing,
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement.

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home,

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits,
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets.

They're all uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight.

I wish that they'd sweep down in a country lane,
Late at night when I'm driving.
Take me on board their beautiful ship,
Show me the world as I'd love to see it.

I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'd be alright,
I'm alright.

I'm just uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight, uptight,
Uptight.

Wake from your sleep,
The drying of your tears,
Today we escape, we escape.

Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us,
Before all hell breaks loose.

Breathe, keep breathing,
Don't lose your nerve.
Breathe, keep breathing,
I can't do this alone.

Sing us a song,
A song to keep us warm,
There's such a chill, such a chill.

And you can laugh a spineless laugh,
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you.

And now we are one
In everlasting peace,

We hope that you choke, that you choke,
We hope that you choke, that you choke,
We hope that you choke, that you choke.

Transport, motorways and tramlines,
Starting and then stopping,
Taking off and landing,
The emptiest of feelings,
Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,
And when it comes it's so, so, disappointing.

Let down and hanging around,
Crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going,
Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel.
One day, I'm gonna grow wings,
A chemical reaction,
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around,
Crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Let down,
Let down,
Let down.

You know, you know where you are with,
You know where you are with,
Floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back
And one day, I'm gonna grow wings,
A chemical reaction, [You know where you are,]
Hysterical and useless [you know where you are,]
Hysterical and [you know where you are,]

Let down and hanging around,
Crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Karma police
Arrest this man,
He talks in maths,
He buzzes like a fridge,
He's like a detuned radio.

Karma police
Arrest this girl,
Her Hitler hairdo
Is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party.

This is what you get,
This is what you get,
This is what you get,
When you mess with us.

Karma police
I've given all I can,
It's not enough,
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll.

This is what you get,
This is what you get,
This is what you get,
When you mess with us.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

Fitter, happier, more productive,
Comfortable,
Not drinking too much,
Regular exercise at the gym
(3 days a week),
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries,
At ease,
Eating well
(no more microwave dinners and saturated fats),
A patient better driver,
A safer car
(baby smiling in back seat),
Sleeping well
(no bad dreams),
No paranoia,
Careful to all animals
(never washing spiders down the plughole),
Keep in contact with old friends
(enjoy a drink now and then),
Will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall),
Favors for favors,
Fond but not in love,
Charity standing orders,
On Sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants),
Car wash
(also on Sundays),
No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
Nothing so childish - at a better pace,
Slower and more calculated,
No chance of escape,
Now self-employed,
Concerned (but powerless),
An empowered and informed member of society
(pragmatism not idealism),
Will not cry in public,
Less chance of illness,
Tires that grip in the wet
(shot of baby strapped in back seat),
A good memory,
Still cries at a good film,
Still kisses with saliva,
No longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick,
That's driven into frozen winter shit
(the ability to laugh at weakness),
Calm,
Fitter,
Healthier and more productive
A pig in a cage on antibiotics.

I will stop, I will stop at nothing.
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet.
Ha ha ha

Riot shields, voodoo economics,
It's just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F.
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet.

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection

It's always best when the light is off
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die

And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind

So lock the kids up safe tonight
Put the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling

That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
A job that slowly kills you,
Bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
Bring down the government,
They don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
A handshake of carbon monoxide,

With no alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
My final bellyache,

With no alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises please.

I'm on a roll,
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change.

Kill me Sarah,
Kill me again with love,
It's gonna be a glorious day.

Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
I'm your superhero,
We are standing on the edge.

The head of state has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him.
It's gonna be a glorious day!
I feel my luck could change.

Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
I'm your superhero,
We are standing on the edge.
We are standing on the edge.

It barks at no-one else but me,
Like it's seen a ghost.
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin,
No-one else would know.

Hey man, slow down, slow down,
Idiot, slow down, slow down.

Sometimes I get overcharged,
That's when you see sparks.
They ask me where the hell I'm going?
At a 1000 feet per second,

Hey man, slow down, slow down,
Idiot, slow down, slow down.

Hey man, slow down, slow down,
Idiot, slow down, slow down.
