Flexes lips and slips and smiles
Blocks and dresses, drugs and tails
There's nowhere deep to swim
Only selected friends with funny names
Cold eyes staring whilst you're all sleeping
In the daylight dry lips are smiling
And there's free drinks for the pencil-thin
And there's nowhere that our swungs and patios
There's nowhere deep to swim
And the great writers of fashion
Cold eyes staring whilst you're all sleeping
In the daylight dry lips are smiling
Yeah, you all gotta go to sleep
You gotta all wake up
And dream a new dream
Dream what it used to be like
On the baker-lot staircase
Where I will preside
Cold eyes staring whilst you're all sleeping
In the daylight dry lips are smiling
Wake up
Wake up
