Van Der Graaf Generator - Chemical World Lyrics
(Hammill)"Well what's the harm?It's good clean fun....why don't you justgo on and have another one?When there's hanky-panky in theboardroom, wooly-bully on the farm,what's the harm?It's quite allright -I mean to say,tomorrow's just another day...."Oh, but in the morning,but in the morning hazewill you still feel as fine,will you still need to tradeday for night?In the country of the blind,the one-eyed man is king;in the country of the sheep, they call himCyclops.And the quality of mind is such atenuous thing that here you need itlike a blind man needs eye drops.Get out of that back room, this vacuum,it attracts you, but in fact youdon't know quite what it is,you're being sapped of everythingyou once valued so highly...Will you still feel as strong,will you still long for weakness to come?It's a Chemical World...not a candidate ever fails;though you search for the Holy Grailyou're not going to find itin the Chemical World.A sleeper train; you can't escape;fast overnight the ticker-tape.Oh but in the morning,but in the morning hazewill the market have turned,will there be no more days left to trade?It's the Chemical Worldand from the moment that it's embracedit's the Chemical Worldall the diamonds turn to paste....in the Chemical WorldYeah, you think you'll look so pretty -it's gonna blow up in your face."It's just the time, so slow to pass.It's just the drug...it doesn't last...."
