Chop‐Chop

Take a walk to the new town, take a look around Pretty road names pass us by, a foundation sound They paint their walls and ceilings white to feel clean inside Ten square miles so synchronized I could have cried And the bodies go by barely half awake Awaiting things to come again, nice things to come It's such a nice environment I'm in, I wonder why I'm here And the bodies go by barely half awake All but the few ever notice anything at all, oh dear All but the few ever notice anything at all I've got a nice new wristwatch with a bright red strap The second hand really moves quite fast - I'd never thought of that And then I pick up my picture book to compensate and sigh It's back to fiction once again, I could have cried And the bodies go by barely half awake Awaiting things to come again, nice things to come It's such a nice environment I'm in, I wonder why I'm here And the bodies go by barely half awake All but the few ever notice anything at all, oh dear All but the few ever notice anything at all

Bright clothes and smiles and we'll talk of sunshine Although the light bulb's dim And my beach ball is getting dusty And the fun wears thin (Thin) It's much the same everywhere Diversions right and we're ready to dance Complacency seemed to kill the cat Curiosity led me on On what foundation is your pedestal built The great architect to a tower block And Uncle Sam says it's not long now And we can play our way My Marvel comic said a hawk-headed man Led to a brighter day It's much the same everywhere We're getting ready and we're ready to dance Happy, so happy, I just accept the way things are I'll stick to songs - that's real So happy La la la la aah
