The Tubes

The Tubes are a San Francisco-based rock band, whose 1975 debut album included the hit single, "White Punks on Dope". During its first fifteen years or so, the band's live performances combined quasi-pornography with wild satires of media, consumerism, and politics.[citation needed] They are perhaps best-remembered for their 1983 single "She's a Beauty", a top 10 U.S. hit with a frequently-played music video in the early days of MTV and in the 1980 film Xanadu singing the rock portion of the cross-genre song "Dancin'" opposite a big band. more »

Look around tell me what you see 
The sky is blue and the trees are green 
But what you see isn't what it seems 
It's all part of a cruel scheme 

Look closer, you can see the flaws 
The holes in the floor and cracks in the walls 
That gleam in your eye isn't there at all 
It's painted on like a face of a doll 

So it begins, fantastic delusion 
Time and again, time and again 

I see you dancin' as they pull the string 
And droolin' when that dinner bell rings 
Don't you wish you could stop wishin' 
You're not even listenin' 

And if what I say is the truth 
If the trees aren't green and the sky's not blue 
Then I'm not really losin' you 
One thing for sure, I'm real confused 

So it begins, fantastic delusion 
Time and again, time and again 

Shuffling back and forth all day 
Most people never notice 
But I'm not crazy and I know what I say 
It's all hocus-pocus 

Don't you wish you could stop wishin' 
You're not even listenin' 
One thing for sure it's real confusin' 
Fantastic delusion
