“Writing Wrongs”

Did you know the water’s turning yellow?
Have you heard the sky was falling down?
Did you see that guy fall out the window?
Did you know the circus {was in town}?

Have you heard about Bill Chambers’ mother?
She said, “A woman’s work is never done”
And oh yes, about that yellow water
Have you noticed the color of the sun?

You have a way of makin’ everything you say seem unreal
Are you aware about the people who care are mostly stainless steel?

[break]

Well, I hope you finally got my letter
It should have come about this time last year
And I hope Bill Chambers’ mother’s better
Oh dear, the moon just disappeared

You have a way of makin’ everything you say seem unreal
Are you aware about the people who care are mostly stainless steel?
