Song Lyrics

A dark angel parachutes down into an abandoned town
He says: Oh, I`ve been looking for a certain white clown
Doesn`t look like you`re it
But you`re the only one around
So I guess you`ll have to do, He says
So anyway... how are you doin`?

I say, Actually, I can`t stand all the new machines
It`s supposed to be all brand new but it just looks the same
He says: Oh, it looks like you`re bored. So try this he says to me:

Why don`t you get yourself an old beret
And why don`t you find an old café?
And sit at a time and write something new
That`s never been heard before

Or write your own manifesto. That would do
Just make sure you use a pencil
So you can always get it... you know... right

Look at all the things I`ve bought
I can`t believe what they cost
Just a lot of plastic and numbers on my credit card
I`m feeling kind of lost
The world that used to seem so small
I could wrap my arms around it
Now it seems so big. And he said: Oh
>From your pictures I guessed that you were tall
But actually... I gotta go now

It`s a small world full of light
It`s a small world full of light
But I wouldn`t want to have to paint it
