Tea time at Damascus computer cafe, |
|
I'm looking busy and staring off the other way |
|
Leverkusen, Juventus; Leeds vs. Valencia |
|
I'm over-hearing all their nonsense in extensia |
|
They're talking too tough for me to inspect |
|
So I have a smell who seems the best to connect |
|
I pick my clique and set to go to work |
|
But the only thing they care about is to whom to play the Turk |
|
So I walked up the length |
|
Of the street they call Straight |
|
Cursing myself |
|
'Cause I got there too late |
|
I traded an expired credit card for two cupfulls of water |
|
They had a dirty beany baby so for good luck I bought her |
|
I rented a Hyundai with two flats and no windshield |
|
No speedometer and a handbrake that squealed |
|
When the sun came up I couldn't put down the visor |
|
So I put on my hat and a question to my local advisor |
|
Whose trucks are those that parked up by the town |
|
But he only would mumble with his eyes pointed down |
|
So I walked up the length |
|
Of the street they call Straight |
|
Cursing myself |
|
'Cause I got there too late |
|
My boss the head of sales for Western Asia |
|
Said you'll get fired if your opposite from Nokia plays ya |
|
If he beats you for the battle of hearts and minds |
|
Tells 'em we use pig by-products in our designs |
|
So when I saw my rival's smile didn't get diminished |
|
No one had to tell me I knew that we were Finnished |
|
You boys from Ericsson better get in the back seat |
|
'Cause your phones are getting stoned over on that straight street |
|
So I walked up the length |
|
Of the street they call Straight |
|
Cursing myself |
|
'Cause I got there too late |
|
So I went to Georgia looking at spas and convents |
|
Tried to make myself the broker for selling off the contents. |
|
At the big change clinic my friends said don't be a cynic |
|
You should work in Baku this is watcha gotta do. |
|
Call a contact in Texas talk to 'em in their Lexus |
|
On their hands-free device and don't be too nice. |
|
But in my teleconference with Houston |
|
They told me I wasn't any use to 'em. |
|
So I walked up the length |
|
Of the street they call Straight |
|
Cursing myself |
|
'Cause I got there too late |
|
Tea time at Damascus computer cafe |
|
I'm looking busy and staring off the other way |
|
Arsenal, Inter; Madrid vs. Valencia |
|
