|
In the not very distant future |
|
When everything will be free |
|
There won't be any cute secrets |
|
Let alone any novelty |
|
You can say anything you want to |
|
In your fetching cloak of anonymity |
|
Are you feeling out of breath now? |
|
In your desperate pursuit of infamy |
|
Two lovers rocking up and down |
|
In an elevator, 15 minutes later |
|
They'll make a killing in the market |
|
They know how to work it |
|
On that close circuit |
|
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace |
|
You'll find these days that there's |
|
No hiding place |
|
How proud you, are you got the knack |
|
Of howling in a vacuum |
|
Whatever I said about you |
|
I didn't say it behind your back |
|
I paid for my immortal sins |
|
I know the enemy within you |
|
As it seems these days |
|
There is no hiding place |
|
Next time someone wants to hurt you |
|
Or set alight your effigy |
|
Don't call on me to help you out |
|
Don't come crying to me for sympathy |
|
You stay there with your daubs and scratches |
|
While I summon up the red machine |
|
I'll be handing somebody matches |
|
And carrying a can of kerosene |
|
Walk up to me |
|
And say what you said |
|
Let's see how brave you are |
|
When I'm about this far |
|
You sit in judgment and bitch |
|
Well, baby that's rich |
|
You're nothing but a snitch |
|
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace |
|
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace |
|
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace |
|
You'll find these days that there's |
|
No hiding place |
