We are after Out piece of the pie From the local deadbeat To the spoilt child Backed in envy Served with pride All our pettty problems These and those The heebie-jeebies The charlatan's toast It's evolution I suppose Why don't you see I only need Little words, serenades This place could be My only need Little words, serenades The birds in the waste yard live like kings Fighting for the best parts The missing link It's evolution I suppose Why don't you see I only need Little words, serenades This place could be My only need Little words, serenades Listen closely, anytime So I don't miss the ones The ones to keep in mind The small and precious The passersby All our petty problems These and those Little words, serenades This place could be My only need Little words, serenades This place could be My only need Little words, serenades This place could be My only need Little words, serenades This place could be My only need Little words, serenades End
