Sink Venice

[Chorus]
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice

[Verse 1]
I saw tolerance
Out of commune
Out of terminal
Caught in the claptrap, inert flat pack
Holds the nation to abreast
The front rank, it turned and said
"One in five cracks up"
But who was that said that?

[Chorus]
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice

[Verse 2]
I saw that Ruskin said
You can't jump off a bridge
'Cause the water stinks
Look around, look around, look around
You can't even throw a noose
'Cause the beams are cracked
All gone, Glasnost Glassed
A place to marry, but never wed, yeah

[Chorus]
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink, look around
Look, look, look around

[Bridge]
Back at the reception
At the opening
Well, it all looked pretty good
But those columns, they were made of plastic
And the host, he was very polite
All data and quick, quick chat
Look around, look around
'Cause it's rising, say now

[Chorus]
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink
Sink, sink, Venice
Sink, look around
Look, look, look around
Two thousand damp bricks won't save you now
