Somebody I never met But in a way I know Didn't think that you could get So much from a picture show Man dies first reel People ask what's the deal? This ain't how it's supposed to be Don't like no aborigine Ritual ideas relativity Only buildings no people prophecy Time slide place to hide nudge reality Foresight minds wide magic imagery Took a trip in Powis Square Pop star dyed his hair No fans to scream and shout When mobsters came to flush him out Gangland slaying underground New identity must be found On the left bank for a while Insanity Bohemian style Ritual ideas relativety Only buildings no people prophecy Time slide place to hide nudge reality Foresight minds wide magic imagery Met a dwarf that was no good Dressed like little Red Riding Hood Bad habit taking life Calling card a six inch knife Ran off really fast Mumbled something 'bout the past Best sex I've ever seen As if each moment was the last Drops of blood color slide Funeral for his bride But it's him who's really dead Gets to take the funeral ride Ritual ideas relativity Only buildings no people prophecy Time slide place to hide nudge reality Foresight minds wide magic imagery Space guy fell from the sky Scratched my head and wondered why Time slide into time Across international dateline Scientist eats bubblegum Hall of fame baseball Senators a Hoodlum Big chiefs in the hall Ritual ideas relativity Only buildings no people prophecy Time slide place to hide nudge reality Foresight minds wide magic imagery Stray thoughts fear to tread Placed upon the screen instead she's my flame too hot to hold Had to settle for her cold Blood lust, Greek God, Gold discovery Gone bust, Tight wad, Slow recovery Axe job, Flame thrower, Ironbar and gun Betting shop, New owner, A walk in the sun Ritual ideas relativity Only buildings no people prophecy Time slide place to hide nudge reality Foresight minds wide magic imagery Spread the news the Maestros back With a beat - box soundtrack The King of brains - Queen of the sack' Executives have heart attack It's assault course celluloid The money makers would avoid Sometimes notions get reversed Center of the universe Ritual ideas relativity Only buildings no people prophecy Time slide place to hide nudge reality Foresight minds wide magic imagery Ritual ideas relativety Only buildings no people prophecy Timeslide place to hide nudge reality Foresight minds wide magic imagery
