There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief, "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth, None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke, "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate, So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl, Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl
I look out of my window at night I see the stars and I'm filled with fright I got a feeling someone's looking It ain't the aliens at the foot of my bed It's more the ale inside my head I got a feeling something's cooking Science friction burns my fingers Electricity still lingers Hey put away that ray, how do you martians say I love you I read my comics from front to back I'll be ready for any attack I got a feeling someone's looking

Watch them go one two three I'm so happy and so is she In a 'Danceband' Show slow Quick quick slow Heel to hell and toe to toe In a 'Danceband' You can do the Bosanova 'Till the night is through You know Gay Gordon You can meet him too But when you hear that tune One and one makes two Don't step on my toes
When we're laying in bed And we're laying in love You and the blackness Fit me like a velvet glove That's why I go crazy When you flick on your lamp I'm dreaming Hang on to the night Hang on to the night Hang on to the night I don't want to see That dawn light Burn your window When we're feeling drunk In a city park Put away that torch I'm changed in the dark

I'm bugged you all look like insects In your brand new sunspecs I'm bugged I'm bugged I drop a little note through my sympathetics door I think I'm going ga ga I just can't take anymore At first I see 'em swarming from a dark and midnight nest And when I see 'em fiddling well I think you've guessed the rest! I'm bugged you all look like insects In your brand new sunspecs I'm bugged I'm bugged I wake up in a cold sweat and I run into the street And just like in my nightmare they are jiggling at my feet I take a dead man's lighter and I burn them to the floor But where there was a dozen there are now a hundred more I'm bugged
