The weather's variable - so are you
changes, changes
but I can't do a thing about the weather
do you have your ticket!
can you foresee
changes, changes

Another time when we might be together!
You have a broken window
through which the rain pours in my ear
this week's been all ears and edges
it's getting like a career

A chain of events
a change of heart
a chain of events
a change of heart
I will study your change of heart in depth

The weather's variable ...

Now you're leaning on a fountain
with the sunshine on your shoes
you dislike the climate but you like the place
I hope you learn to live with what you choose

A chain of events ...

I'm so changeable - it's so frightening

In this world of carelessness
there is delight, there is distress
a wilderness of mortal calm
sometimes ease, sometimes alarm

Lead me to a new world of comfort
Lead me to a new world of comfort

Leave now quick, before you're missed
you can use the service lift
the neighbours're out on the morning shift
there needn't be the slightest risk

You know, we're lucky to be so important
you know, we're lucky it turned out that way
we are so lucky

In this world of carelessness ...
there is delight, there is distress
we're never safe, that's for sure
the lucky shot through the open door

Lead me ...

So take your life in your hands and go
don't tell me where, I'd better not know
if I need to get in touch one day
I will employ the C.I.A.

Our love will equal the five year plan
like the harvest we'll cover the land
we are so lucky

Lead me ...

All police leave has been cancelled
we always imagine we're being followed

I saw an advert for ice cream
seems it was eaten in the Garden of Eden
I bought you one
you licked it slowly
and I got that certain feeling of freedom

Then we listened closely to some Mantovani
and waited for the cops to come

I'm in love with everything that's been left unsaid
that's gone down through the centuries
beginning
middle
and ending dead

I will forget
where I began
I'll lose track
I'll change hands
I'm not vigilant
it's no trouble
it's inevitable

It's so foggy at night always
and it's dark all day
all that has been hidden
will be shut off one day
until then I will attempt
whatever tempts me
tell me, is that good enough!
there's so much I can't see

I will forget ...

You say in a little while
we'll have it all on file
my time ain't so vast
I can't spend it in the past

I will forget ...

Bits of spirits were set on a carpet of carbon
pieces of apes were placed in a time of ice and iron

'Keep fit - Survive'

Primitive Jeeps crushed fossils and ancient bone
chandelier-sized flowers aromatized pollen and chromosome
puzzles grew on trees where mutilated fruit hung
like the hats of inscrutable guests
who'd sipped their soft drinks and sung:

'Keep fit - Survive'
'You won't recognise yourself till you come alive'

Pepsi-Cola, Pepsi-Cola brings your ancestors back from the grave

At Leonardo da Vinci Intercontinental Airport
a Swiss pathologist missed his connecting flight

An asteroid kicked up the dust the dinosaur stubbornly bit
man's brain was taken
the cortex stuck at an awkward angle on it
his first words were:

'What have I done to deserve the sun!"
'What have I done to deserve the rain!"

Pepsi-Cola ...

My lifetime's habits will remain
This crush of hearts won't go away
Tonight, one way, once and for all
Good times aren't possible today

I took a little poison
I took it carefully
It built for me
A house on fire
This poison takes after me

This poison came too far to fail


Desire unwinds in the last hour
Within, the bed is overturned
My host, the antidote is sour

I took a little poison ...

Now put me down upon the lawn
Right here - next to my favourite tree
I'm being foolish - can't you tell!
They all look just the same to me

I took a little poison ...

She's wearing the shoes today
she's kicking her dog in the snow
she bought all three yesterday
she's the happiest person I know

When she's in a desert
when she's face to face with the sky
she can cast all the shadow she needs
with her naked eye

You urban vision of loveliness
moving scenes of skin
you understand the ways and means
of city discipline
a structured life in some girls' rooms
mirror glass and light
outside the landscape of power
dreams around appetites

Suburban Rhonda
don't be so smart
Suburban Rhonda
don't act so sharp
Suburban Rhonda
you'll wreck your heart
Suburban Rhonda
you'll wreck your heart

You could be just vain and live alone
on Separation Street
but if you did you know your life
would be incomplete
the tenements of disrepute
don't eye them longingly
I want to be the one
to put you out of your misery

Suburban Rhonda ...

I'm in a web
I TASTED BLOOD IN THE GARDEN
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
SO THEY HUNG SCIENCE IN MY HEART
I'm in a web
"YOUR PHONY GHOSTS WENT BY" I LAUGHED
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
"I DRAGGED THEM OUT OF THE DARK"
I'm open wide
I PRESSED THORNS INTO MY FLESH
I am awake, I am awake
MY EYES LOOK LIKE CLAWS
I'm open wide
MAN EATING MAN EATING MAN
I am awake, I am awake
MY SICKNESS IS MY REWARD

I'm in a web
I'D SWEAR I SAW THE SUNLIGHT SHAKE
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
THE SKY'S ALL OVER MY HEAD
I'm in a web
I'M FEELING GRAVITY HARDEN
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
SOUNDING THE ALARM FROM THE CENTRE OF A FLOWERBED
I'm open wide
I AM THE ONLY ONE AWAKE
I am awake, I am awake
AND I'M SO WELL INFORMED
I'm open wide
I'LL SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE
I am awake, I am awake
IN THE EYE OF A BRAINSTORM

I AM RESPONSIBLE
