Welcome to the world, young man Welcome to the world that I have planned for you It's all come true Welcome to the city's gates Camps of concentration for the poor But not at my door
Welcome to the searchlights and the TV eyes Watching you, watching me
Welcome to you new apartment Welcome to your block of fear You're welcome here
Go away!
Locked inside a concrete cage with those cameras for my eyes Outside are the population, the corpses and the flies
Got to keep my carpets clean You know there's mites and rats and mites and things living in a shagpile Fear of death is my recipe for life and I'm Locked in and I like it that way
I see no way out of here There is no way out of here I see no way out of here
Here I sit at my windowbox, I put flowers on the rocks for you I don't put water on the cracks because you know what cracks can do Gotta keep myself secure, you know there's Emotions feelings, killer bugs live in a shagpile
Fear of life is the guarantee of safety And I'm locked in and I like it that way
I see no way out of here There is no way out of here I see no way out of here
No way out!
Flowers on the window box are blooming I pour water on the rocks so they won't die The pattern on the carpet shows I'm human I don't step on the foolish cracks, so I won't fry
The sky is blue, the weather seems appealing I lay my hand upon the armoured glass No more blood, I think my wound is healing Should I open it up, give it a try?
