The Jazz Butcher - Hysteria lyrics

I wake up, don't know where I am The clock says `San Francisco', I say "Hell"! We're getting up, we're holding up We're selling out, they say we're doing well We slept right though an earthquake - Guess the distances are addling my brain And all that anyone wants to know Is when we'll be through here again It's almost like dreaming.. It's all right for awhile... We're rolling through prairies So useless and thin Can I get my lunch here? What state are we in? Hysteria Let's just call it Hysteria It's living in a funfair And it's handsome, but it wouldn't do for me The food is wrong, the language twisted Green's the only colour that you see We drove the bus through Heaven There were people in their best suits in the bar We're far from home, we're far from well I wish I could have joined them for an hour But anyway... This country's been dreaming... It's all right for awhile... But look at it's children Too human and sad Their questions all stupid And the answers all mad In Hysteria So what for did we come here? I guess we came here to learn 'Coz somebody told us You've got books here to burn And we came for the buildings And we came for the mountains And we came for the restaurants And we came for your women And we came for the pacific ocean And we came for the d** And we came for your souls Sounds stupid, but we came for your souls Oh Hysteria, God save us from Hysteria Just get my ticket home from Hysteria
