Chemical World
The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes a bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
The landlord says that she's out in a week
What a shame she was just getting comfy
And now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world its very, very, very cheap

And I don't know about you
They're putting the holes in, yes yes
Its been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes yes

Peeping Thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely
Feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and have some sugary tea
In a chemical world, in a chemical world,
Its very, very, very cheap.

Until you can see right through
