You've got a bee in your bonnet
and ants in your pants
You're up with the lark
And down on the off chance
You've got bats in your belfry
You're gonna ride that gravy train
and in that Saigon moment
Crocodile tears in theater rain
You're going nowhere at high speed
Eden's garden's gone to seed
Down in the square
we remain unaware
there's castles in the sand
No one was there
There was music in the air
in Cloud Cuckoo Land
You're off your chump
and up to speed
But you've got a heart
... a heart of greed
You're daft as a brush
And dumb as a rock
You're as hard as nails
and blind as a hawk
You're going nowhere at high speed
Eden's garden's gone to seed
Down in the square
we remain unaware
there's castles in the sand
No one was there
There was music in the air
in Cloud Cuckoo Land
That's a tough act to follow
still we make the rounds
A bitter pill to swallow
while you're fleeing from the hounds
There's no fear of failure
where we're calling from
Just another tosser in a trailer
Public enema number one
You're going nowhere at high speed
Eden's garden's gone to seed
Down in the square
we remain unaware
there's castles in the sand
No one was there
There was music in the air
in Cloud Cuckoo Land
