Abacab

Look up on the wall, there on the floor,
Under the pillow, behind the door.
There's a crack in the mirror.
Somewhere there's a hole in a window-pane.
Do you think i'm to blame?
Tell me do you think i'm to blame?

(when they do it) you're never there.
(when they show it) you stop and stare.
(abacab) he's in anywhere.
(abacab)

If you're wrapping up the world
'cos you've taken someone elses girl,
When they turn on the pillow,
Even when they answer the telephone,
Don't you think that by now,
Tell me, don't you think that by now.

(when they do it) you're never there.
(when they show it) you stop and stare.
(abacab) he's in anywhere.
(abacab) doesn't really care.

You want it, you got it, you gotta go
You want it, you got it, now you know

It's an illusion, it's a game,
Or reflection of someone else's name.
When you wake in the morning,
Wake and find you're covered in cellophane.

Well, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Now there's a hole in there somewhere.

(when they do it) you're never there.
(when they show it) you stop and stare.
(abacab) he's in anywhere.

Too big to fly, dodo ugly so dodo must die,
Doggo with fear on its side, can't change, can't change the tide.
Dog baiter, agitator, asking questions, says he wants to know why.
Ain't no reason that money can't buy.
Mink he pretty so mink he must die, must die, must die.

Sun he giving life in his light,
Part of the system,
Friend to man, friend to the trees,
No friend to the snowman.
Where does he go, what does he do?
Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud
And end up at the bottom of the sea.

Fish he got a hook in his throat,
Fish he got problems
Where does he go, what does he do?
Does he hope he's too small, to poor a haul,
Who'll end up being thrown back in the sea.
I'm back in the sea.

Caretaker, horror movie,
Only one eye, only needs one boot,
Sweet lady, she knows she looks good
Vacuum coming for the bright and the brute.

Big noise, black smoke
So pig-headed couldn't see the joke.
But it ain't funny
Ask the fly on the wall
It's only living
It don't matter at all, at all, at all.

Pimp, he make you drool and grunt,
He got an answer.
One he got a dream of love,
Deep as the ocean.

Where does he go?
What does he do?
Will the siren team with davy jones,
And trap him at the bottom of the sea?

I'm back in the sea.
I'm back in the sea.
I'm back in the sea.

It's funny you know,
'cos there's an old rock 'n' roller
He's got nowhere to go.
Did you ever think of taking him in?
Somebody help him, somebody please.

Put another record on
'cos he likes that song.

It's funny you know,
Ooh he never done nothing, done nobody wrong,
Did he think about changing his name,
But i'm gonna tell him it's the same old game.

Put another record on
Round and round and round and around - oh
Ah - see him smile.

Well lately i've seen him
Walking down the street, kinda moving his feet,
Everyone i know looks the other way
Somebody help him, somebody say -

Put another record on
Round and round and round and around - oh
Ah - see him smile.

It's funny you know,
'cos there's an old rock 'n' roller
He's got nowhere to go.
Did you ever think of taking him in?
Somebody help him, somebody please.

Just put another record on
Put another record on
Put another record on cos you know we like it
Put another record on cos you know we like it...

Talk to me, you never talk to me.
Ooh, it seems that i can speak.
But i can hear my voice shouting out.
But there's no reply at all.

Look at me, you never look at me,
Ooh, i've been sitting, staring, seems so long.
But you're looking through me
Like i wasn't here at all.
No reply, there's no reply at all.

Dance with me, you never dance with me.
Ooh, it seems that i can move,
I'm close to you, close as i can get.

Yet there's no reply at all,
There's no reply at all.

I get the feeling you're tryin' to tell me,
Is there something that i should know?
What excuse are you tryin' to sell me?
Should i be reading stop or go, i don't know.

Be with me, seems you're never here with me,
Ooh, i've been trying to get over there.
Ah, but it's out of my reach.
And there's no reply at all.
There's no reply at all.

I get the feeling you're trying to tell me;
Is there something that i should know?
What excuse are you trying to sell me?
Should i be reading stop or go, i don't know.

Maybe deep down inside,
I'm trying for no one else but me.
Too stubborn to say, "the buck stops here.
It's not the one you're looking for."
But, maybe deep down inside,
I'm lying to no one else but me.
Oh but my back is up.
I'm on my guard - with all the exits sealed.

Listen to me, you never listen to me,
Ooh, and it seems there's no way out,
I've been trying, but we cannot connect,
And there's no reply at all,
There's no reply at all,
There's no reply at all,
No reply at all.

Is anybody listening - oh oh,
No reply at all...

see the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, i don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
He's just waiting for something to show.

And nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
'cos there's no hiding place,
There's no hiding place - for you.

Looking everywhere at no one,
He sees everything and nothing at all - oh.
When he shouts nobody listens,
Where he leads no one will go - oh.

He's a lonely man, there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, i don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
And he's just waiting for something to show - oh.

Nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
'cos there's no hiding place,
There's no hiding place - for you and me.

Are we just like all the rest,
We're looking too hard for something he's got
Or moving too fast to rest.
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
But do you love it enough to leave it - ah.

Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, i don't know - oh.
But he waits every day now.
He's just waiting for that something to show - oh.

Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, i don't know.
But he's there every day now.
And he's just waiting for something to show - oh.

Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, i don't know.
Oh but he waits every day now.
He's just waiting for that something to show.
