Sick of politicians, harassment and laws
All we do is get screwed up by other people's flaws
World turned upside down now, nothing else to do
Live in concrete jungle that blocks up the view
And that ain't no joke,
You can disappear in smoke
And that ain't no joke,
You can disappear in smoke
I'm telling you, it ain't no lie

Think you know the answers, we don't tell no lies
We can take you any way, seven different highs
World turned upside down now, there's nothing else to do,
Live in concrete jungle that blocks up the view
And that ain't no joke,
You can disappear in smoke
And that ain't no joke,
You can disappear in smoke
And I'm telling you, it ain't no lie

Sick of politicians, harassment and laws
All we do is get screwed up by other people's flaws
World turned upside down now, nothing else to do
Live in concrete jungle that blocks up the view
And that ain't no joke,
You can disappear in smoke
And that ain't no joke,
You can disappear in smoke
I'm telling you, it ain't no lie

That ain't no joke
(repeat)

We're children playing in the sun
A sense of freedom on the run
We never knew what time it was
We just knew how sublime it was

Our course determined by our stars
My momma knows just where we are
The Earth was forming from below
A dragon showed which way to go

Spacing out, we're spacing in
Phasing out, we're phasing in
Turning up by burning out
Lifting off and gazing in

Our luck, it changes with the tide
Our constellations changing side
Macro mirror-image fades
Our over-conscience colour shades

We're astral-planing, floating free
On our continuum frequency
A ring was formed out of the stone
Metamorphose, tetraform

Spacing out, we're spacing in
Phasing out, by phasing in
Turning up by burning out
Lifting off and gazing in

Larynx cries no longer heard
A chord was struck that chilled the nerve
It froze the time that we all lived

The roles reversed to downward spin
Is life finished or hung within
The voices pleading went unheard

And shattered membranes of our lives
Hung suspended from the hives
Where there's harmony the sad voice waned

I wandered far in lands unknown
Until I came to my earthly home
Far away I found life's dream
Drifting on a silver beam

You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say

Travelling at twice the speed of light
Orion's stars are high tonight
The gentle madness has touched my hand
Now I'm just a cosmic man

You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say

You only get a single chance
The rules are very plain
The truth is well concealed
inside the details of the game
You can see it coming
You can hear it from afar
It's pale and it flickers
like a faded movie star

And up there in the castle
they're trying to make us scream
by sticking thumb tacks in her flesh
and cancelling the dream

Can you find the valium?
Can you bring it soon?
Lost Johnny's out there
baying at the Moon

The time has come for you to choose
You'd better get it right
Berlin girls with sharp white teeth
are waiting in the night
But you oughta really get some
It surely can't be hard
There's always trouble waiting
when you leave your own back yard

And underneath the city
the alligators sing
about how the puppets cannot dance
since someone cut the strings

Run and get the morphine
For God's sake make it brief
Lost Johnny's out there
looking for relief

Now Simon looks so evil
And you know he really tries
But every time he makes a play
that vital number dies
And Sally buys her underwear
from a store where no-one goes
She makes it big in photographs
on the strength of what she shows

And here inside the waiting room
the radio still screams
And we're all taking Tuenol
to murder our young dreams

Run and fetch your credit card
Try to make it quick
Lost Johnny's out there
trying to turn a trick

The story that I'm telling you
Something that you can do
Ask yourself and try to find the answer
See the signs they're always there
But you know you never care
You're always looking for another reason
Try to reach it's not too far
See it as you really are
Ask yourself to try and find the answer

Always, always it's the same thing
Try it, try it, you just can't win
Circles, circles spinning round
People, people always bring you down and down
Round and round you go
