Armchair Theatre |
i’m sitting on the fence again |
drawing straws and pulling strings |
demonstrations pass me by |
this must be the age of something |
a time where each prediction |
makes me feel like going to the beach |
a time when men of wisdom |
never seem to practice what they preach |
behind each reason there’s a lie |
behind each answer lies a cheat |
well you can take me for a ride |
but only if i get the window seat |
colour me creep |
the coldness of your power chills my soul |
you’re more than welcome to your throne |
but when you’re playing god leave me alone |
you’ve spent fortunes on houses that haven’t been built |
then offer excuses to cover your guilt |
but i don’t want the earth and all that it’s worth |
you get on my nerves |
i’m getting very bored indeed |
with your false passion and your greed |
get me the next train out of town |
take me away from this maddening crowd |
and colour me gone |
just before the revolution starts |
you’ll find out what they really are |
i hear their anthems play |
as nasty things go whistling through the air |
although it breaks our hearts |
to see the world just fall apart |
sit and rest beneath the shooting stars |
so let’s exchange our loving kiss |
the winter storms are drawing near |
if they destroy our every bliss |
we can wait until the clouds have disappeared |
the fires will burn i’m dreaming of you |
but when they return they’ll colour me blue |
