I walk into the corner of my room See my friends in high places I don't know which is which or who is whom They've stolen each others faces Janet is there with her hi-hatting hair Full of bedroom feathers Janet is known to make dead men groan In any king of weathers I crawl over to her I say, hey baby I say, hey Janet You are the one/ you are the sun And I'm your dutiful planet- But she ain't down with any of that She's heard that shit before I say, ah ha, o yeah, you're right 'Cause I see Betty X standing by the door With more news from nowhere More news from nowhere And it's getting strange in here Yeah, it gets stranger every year More news from nowhere More news from nowhere
Now Betty X is like Betty Y Minus that fatal chromosome Her hair is like the wine dark sea On which sailors come home I say, hey baby, I say, hey Betty X (I lean close up to her throat) This light you are carrying is like a lamp hanging from a distant boat It is my light, said Betty X Betty X says, this light ain't yours! And so much wind blew through her words That I went rolling down the hall For more news from nowhere More news from nowhere And it's strange in here Yeah, it gets stranger every year More news from nowhere More news from nowhere
I turn another corner, I go down a corridor And I see this guy He must be about 100 foot tall And he only has one eye He asks me for my autograph I write, nobody and then I wrap myself up in my woolly coat And blind him with my pen 'Cause someone must of stuck something in my drink Everything was getting strange looking 1/2 the people had turned into squealing pigs That the other 1/2 were cooking Let me out of here! I cried And I went pushing past And I saw miss Polly! Singing with some girls I cried, strap me to the mast! For more news from nowhere More news from nowhere It's getting strange in here And it gets stranger every year More news from nowhere More news from nowhere
Then a black girl with no clothes on Danced across the room We charted the progress of the planets Around that boogie-woogie moon I called her my nubian princess I gave her some sweet-back bad-ass jive I spent the next seven years between her legs pining for my wife But by and by it all went wrong I felt all washed-up on the shore She stared down at me from up in the storm As I sobbed upon the floor For more news from nowhere More news from nowhere And don't it make you feel alone And don't it make you wanna get right-on home More news from nowhere More news from nowhere
Here comes Alina with two black eyes She's given herself a transfusion She's filled herself with panda blood To avoid all the confusion I said -the sun rises and falls with you And various things about love But a rising violence in me Cut all my circuits off Alina she starts screaming Her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves Her extinction was nearly absolute When she turned her back on me For more news from nowhere More news from nowhere And it's getting strange in here And it's getting stranger every year More news from nowhere More news from nowhere
I bumped bang crash into Deanna Hanging pretty in the door frame All the horrors that have befallen me Well, Deannais to blame Every time I see you babe You make me feel so all alone And I wept my face into her dress Long after she'd gone home With more news from nowhere More news from nowhere And don't it make you feel alone Don't it make you wanna get right back home More news from nowhere More news from nowhere
Don't it make you feel so sad Don't the blood rush to your feet To think that everything you do today Tomorrow is obsolete Technolog
