Now that I've changed and the rest have all stayed Well, why do I feel so confused? Some of the best of me plans have been laid And some of me best moments used I've been out for the count in a Mexican bar-o Stranded in nowhere with a-nothing but me Ah, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland Some of the shit has sprouted in roses And some of the roses have died Forced by meself to follow conviction And ignore what I'm missing inside I've been loved by the sweetest and hated by heroes Life's still (a) surprise and the friends come and go Ah, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland (whoop-whoop, whoop-whoop) I've had praise I've had ridicule, either meant nothing Faced with the task of tomorrow's demands Oh, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland Oh, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland (whoop-whoop) Oh, lads, I daen't understand - I'm a Geordie in Wonderland

Back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes And everyone drinks and everyone smokes No-one speaks 'less there's something to say There's no false words, just telecommunique Back on my planet you cannot tell lies 'Cause everyone can see it by the look in your eye Parties that last for a couple of days No one sleeps 'cause beds are prohibited Back on my planet, silence is granted We're laughing at the earthlings Back on my planet, back on my planet (And meanwhile) Back on my planet where dinosaurs roam With uncut TV beaming into your home Is Mother Nature being eager and free? Money don't talk, just giving ability Back on my planet, rules are all slanted We're tokin' to be broken Back on my planet, back on my planet Back on my planet Take a trip down an open road And the eyes on an evening star Gets to move a bit closer to the ground Like night at play Wanna know what I need to know Wanna see that we ain't in charge Where the superpowers will try to run it down All alone, you're not alone 'Cause it's a meeting time for a different neighbour Small and slight and grey There's something going on There's something going on There's something going on Look into those eyes, it comes as no surprise “It's little more than science fiction,” the government replies They could be taking our daughters They could be taking our ladies Making sky babies, sky babies Sky babies I, I'm looking at the sky tonight Everything clear defined just like the last time All ideas inside my head Anything like a real one I'm looking from the floor tonight Weary of humankind, tired of the chains that bind Wasting time on diatribe And all the time the walls are closing in I'm feeling stuck inside again When something more divine than suicide More generous than fate 'Cause when I get to see a new sun arise I'll be myself, blame it on the other side I'll slip away, I'll do it with ease I'll take a cheap seat, please 'Cause you're the only one thing I wanna know So won't you take me with you when you go? And there's a million feelings I wanna show If you take me with you when you go Yesterday's dreams don't mean nothing it seems 'Cause the big life keeps them waiting And the people we find with a polythene mind They just don't care at all And the halcyon days are fearless and staged As a memory plays it one more time Here today, gone tomorrow This is it in layman's terms, phenomenon of UFOs Is well acknowledged by the States but secret to the President Employed to be a public face and keep the public feeling safe But higher powers in the government hide something a million times The size of the killing of JFK, the CIA are aware that higher Powers exist with untold knowledge of life and death dimension, it could Alter public awareness of religion which is the only faith that Keeps us all in true control and that's why we can never know They're shaking, and they're fucking us again 'Cause you're the only one thing I wanna know So won't you take me with you when you go? And there's a million feelings I wanna show If you take me with you when you go 'Cause you're the only one thing I wanna know If you take me with you when you go And there's a million feelings I wanna show If you take me with you when you go 'Cause you're the only one thing I...

Waking up with an eight point two And it seemed like the easiest thing to do When someone said, "Here's one for you!" Mouth's so dry that I just spit ash And a hole in my pocket full of wasted cash But it's all right, it was just back stash "Jump inside," he said, I tried "I never met a junkie that I didn't like" Said he and who am I to disagree? Oh, how can you stay When you're sixty million miles away? How can you fly when you're free? And how can you feel When your mind's made up like a will of steel? How can you deal in your tree? Sick of Ecstasy Kicked in bad and you got too low To be down with-a company you don't know Said "Come on in, we got a right good blow" Yeah, talking, talking the whole world's clear Until a guy with a goatee got a touch of fear Which went 'round the room like diarrhoea Bored with this, I'm bored with that I'm stuck in bed alone with a you-know-what No rest with a heart beating out of your chest How can you stay When you're sixty million miles away? How can you fly when you're free? And how can you feel When your mind's made up like a will of steel? How can you deal in your tree? Sick of LSD How can you stay When you're sixty million miles away? How can you fly when you're free? And how can you feel When your mind's made up like a will of steel? How can you deal in your tree? Oh, how can you stay When you're sixty million miles away? How can you fly when you're free? Oh, how can you feel When your mind's made up like a will of steel? How can you deal in your tree? Sick of drugs are we
