And the movBement will increase
There's somEething about the living, babe
That seAnds me off my feet
There's breAeding in the sewers
And the raBts are on their way
They're clouEding up the images
Of my peErfect day

Verse 1:

Inside my TV eye

Never stop to wonder why

Inside my future eye

What I see just makes me cry

E A

I'm way down now, I'm way down now

The clocks will all run backwards

All the sheep will have two heads

Thursday night and Friday

Will be on Tuesday night instead

And all the times will keep on changing

And the movement will increase

There's something about the living, babe

That sends me off my feet

There's breeding in the sewers

And the rats are on their way

They're clouding up the images

Of my perfect day

And I know, I'm not alone

E B A E B A E B A

Anything but this

E Esus4 E

can you hear me? I said

Verse 3 (same as the fist):

Inside my TV eye

I never stop to wonder why

Then some faceless git, comes on my screen

The most honest man, I've ever seen

I'm way down now, I'm way down
