LYRICS:




l remember on night the kid cut off his right arm
In a fit to save a bit of power
He ot fihy thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower
Securlty's so tight tonight
Oh they're ready for a tussle
Gotta keep your backstage passes
'Cause your promoter had the muscle
And so it goes and so it goes
And s o it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows
And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows
In the fall buildings
sit the head of our nations
Worthy men from Sapin and Siam
A!1 day discussions with the Russians
But they still went ahead
and vetoed the plan
Now up jumped the U.S. representative
He's the one with the tired eyes
747 for the midnight condition
Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission
In the air there's absolution
in the wake of a snaky Persian
On his arm there's a skin tightvision
Wonder why she admires she is hissin'
But where it's goin' no one knows.

ALBUM SLEEVE:
Nick the chameleon...




Oh, my, God....
