Wake up you sleepy head
|
Put on some clothes,
|
shake up your bed
|
Put another log on the fire for me
|
I've made some breakfast and coffee
|
Look out my window and what do I see
|
A crack in the sky
|
and a hand reaching down to me
|
All the nightmares came today
|
And it looks as though they're
|
here to stay
|
What are we coming to
|
No room for me,
|
no fun for you
|
I think about a world to come
|
Where the books were found
|
by the Golden ones
|
Written in pain, written in awe
|
By a puzzled man who questioned
|
What we were here for
|
All the strangers came today
|
And it looks as though
|
they're here to stay
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
Oh You Pretty Things
|
Don't you know you're driving your
|
Mamas and Papas insane
|
Oh You Pretty Things
|
Don't you know you're driving your
|
Mamas and Papas insane
|
Let me make it plain
|
([second time:] Let me say it again)
|
You gotta make way
|
for the Homo Superior
|
|
Look at your children
|
See their faces in golden rays
|
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
|
They're the start of a coming race
|
The earth is a bitch
|
We've finished our news
|
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
|
All the strangers came today
|
And it looks as though they're here to stay
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
