A Wonderful Day In A One-Way World (Gabriel)
|
|
Saturday is shopping day and I drive my car but there's no place to park it,
|
No respect for supermen in the supermarket.
|
I guess there must be trouble but I've not been alerted;
|
Looking round the store, it was all deserted
|
And I'm stranded here with my empty basket,
|
So full of questions but nowhere to ask it.
|
Chorus:
|
By the one way out, strange voice shouts,
|
"Don't let that good man out!"
|
"Have a wonderful day in our one-way world,
|
One way, one day;
|
Have a wonderful day in our one-way world,
|
One way, one day;
|
One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind."
|
|
There's an old man on the floor so I summon my charm,
|
I say, "Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?"
|
He says "Yeah, I been selling off eternal youth,
|
They all got afraid, 'cos I'm the living proof.
|
My name is Einstein, do you know time is a curve?"
|
I said, "Stop, old man! You've got a nerve,
|
'cos there's only one rule that I observe:
|
Time is money, and money I serve."
|
|
(Chorus)
