Lyrics

I'm working for the dogs in the city

I am employed for the dogs in the city.

The mind was strong but your body was weak

The intellect was strong, but the body was feeble.

Now your body's here but the mind has snuffed it

Now the body is present, but the mind has perished.

I think it's time that somebody stopped it

I believe it's time for someone to intervene and stop it.


On the screen there's a boy with no name

On the screen, there's a boy without a name.

It looks like you but it's just not the same

It resembles you, but it's not the same.

Yeah, you're so damn gone, I can barely see you

Yes, you're so far gone that I can hardly perceive you.

It must have been a double at the BBC, oh yeah

It might have been a doppelganger at the BBC, oh yeah.


In the city, in the disco

In the city, in the disco.

Think you're pretty, [?]

Think you're pretty, [?].

It's a shit hole, you're a hero

It's a problematic place; you're a hero.

You're a freak-oh

You're an unconventional person.


Just when I think I'm getting the knack

Just when I believe I'm getting the hang of it.

I'll see you and have a panic attack

I'll see you and experience a panic attack.

Now I'm an acrobat on the channel changer

Now I'm like an acrobat on the channel changer.

And it seems I'm out of danger, yeah

And it seems I'm out of danger, yeah.


In the city, in the disco

In the city, in the disco.

Think you're pretty, [?]

Think you're pretty, [?].

It's a shit hole, you're a hero

It's a problematic place; you're a hero.

You're a freak-oh

You're an unconventional person.
