Chemical World |
| «Well what’s the harm? |
| It’s good clean fun… |
| Why don’t you just go on and have another one? |
| When there’s hanky-panky in the boardroom |
| Wooly-bully on the farm, what’s the harm? |
| It’s quite alright — I mean to say, tomorrow’s just another day…» |
| Oh, but in the morning |
| But in the morning light |
| Will you still feel as fine |
| Will you still need to trade day for night? |
| In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king; |
| In the country of the sheep, they call him Cyclops |
| And the quality of mind is such a tenuous thing |
| That here you need it like a blind man needs eye drops |
| Get out of that back room |
| This vacuum, it attracts you, but in fact |
| You don’t know quite what it is; |
| You’re being sapped of everything |
| You once valued so highly… |
| Will you still feel as strong |
| Will you still long for weakness to come? |
| It’s a Chemical World… |
| Not a candidate ever fails; |
| Though you search for the Holy Grail |
| You’re not going to find it |
| In the Chemical World |
| A sleeper train… you can’t escape; |
| Fast overnight… the ticker-tape |
| Oh but in the morning |
| But in the morning haze |
| Will the market have turned |
| Will there be no more days left to trade? |
| It’s the Chemical World |
| And from the moment that it’s embraced |
| It’s the Chemical World |
| All the diamonds turn to paste |
| In the Chemical World… |
| Yeah, you think you’ll look so pretty — |
| It’s gonna blow up in your face |
| «It's just the time, so slow to pass |
| It’s just the drug… it doesn’t last…» |
