Brain like a butterfly, heart like a wheel The ground's so froze, my feet can't feel Heads in the clouds and soul's in the ground From walking the streets of this weary town Oh ... oh
Stretched as taut, as?an?amphetamine?bash You've run out?of credit, run?out of cash If you make any money, the taxmen take it Might be better, if you never even make it Oh ... oh
And you wonder, how you landed in this mess Where's the nanny's hand, where's the stewardess To wipe up the tears and the milk you spilt And put back every brick you built? Oh ... oh
You're damned if you dance and damned if you don't A fool if you will and alone if you won't You've got no drugs and you've got no girl You're the luckiest man in the western world Oh ... oh
