More News from Nowhere

[00:20.28] I walk into the corner of my room
[00:22.54] See my friends in high places
[00:24.54] I don't know which is which or who is whom
[00:26.89] They've stolen each other's faces
[00:29.19] Janet is there with her high head and hair
[00:31.35] Full of bedroom feathers
[00:33.34] Janet is known to make dead men groan
[00:35.71] In any kind of weather
[00:37.74] I crawl over to her
[00:39.46] I say hey baby
[00:40.75] I say hey Janet
[00:42.05] You are the one, you are the sun
[00:44.10] And I'm your dutiful planet
[00:46.36] But she ain't down with any of that
[00:48.60] 'Cause she's heard that shit before
[00:50.79] And I say uh huh, oh yeah you're right
[00:52.86] 'Cause I see Betty X standing by the door
[00:55.78] With more news from nowhere
[00:59.17] Yeah more news from nowhere
[01:05.03] And it's getting strange in here
[01:08.92] Yeah it's getting stranger every year

[01:29.56] Now Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosome
[01:33.81] Her hair is like the wine dark sea in which sailors come home
[01:38.36] I say hey baby I say hey Betty X
[01:40.88] I lean close up to her throat
[01:42.86] This light you are carrying is like a lamp
[01:45.05] Hanging from a distant boat
[01:47.03] It is my light says Betty
[01:48.94] Betty x says this light ain't yours
[01:51.30] And so much wind blew through her words
[01:53.78] That I went rolling down the hall

[02:30.55] I turn another corner
[02:32.36] I go down a corridor
[02:33.63] And I see this guy
[02:34.95] He must be about one hundred foot tall
[02:37.13] And he only has one eye
[02:39.02] He asks me for my autograph
[02:41.14] I write nobody and then
[02:43.30] I wrap myself up in my woolly coat
[02:45.50] And I blind him with my pen
[02:47.61] 'Cause someone must have stuck something in my drink
[02:50.12] Everything's getting strange lookin'
[02:52.33] Half the people have turned into squealing pigs
[02:54.69] The other half are cooking
[02:56.58] Well let me out of here I cried
[02:58.67] And I went pushing past
[03:00.75] And I saw Miss Polly singing with some girls

[03:40.09] Well then a black girl with no clothes on
[03:42.16] She danced across the room
[03:43.94] We charted the progress of the planets
[03:45.99] Around that boogie woogie moon
[03:48.39] I called her my nubian princess
[03:50.53] Gave her some sweet back fatass jive
[03:52.30] Spent the next seven years between her legs
[03:55.16] A-pining for my wife
[03:57.29] But then by and by it all went wrong
[03:59.47] I fell washed up on a shore
[04:01.49] She stared down at me from up in the storm
[04:03.84] And I sopped up on the floor
[04:05.80] For more news from nowhere
[04:10.71] Yeah more news from nowhere uh huh huh

[04:43.25] She's given herself a transfusion
[04:45.11] She's filled herself with panda blood
[04:47.02] To avoid all the confusion
[04:49.02] I say the sun rises and falls with you
[04:51.65] And various things about love
[04:53.52] But a rising violence in me cuts all my circuits off
[04:57.56] Well Elena she starts screaming
[04:59.70] Her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves
[05:02.09] Her extinction was nearly absolute
[05:04.45] When she turned her back on me
[05:06.28] For more news from nowhere
