i was commited to life and then commuted to the outskirts   With all the love in the world    Living for thirty minutes at a time with a break in the middle for adverts    But it's a wonderful world within these cinema walls    where a shower of affection becomes niagra falls   And you wish she could step down from the    screen to your seat in the stalls    but if stars are only painted on the ciling above   Then who can you turn to and who do you love    I want to get out while I still can    I want to be like Harry Houdini    Now I'm the invisible man       My head is spinning round faster and faster    Here I stand on the edge of disaster    I'm shattered like a piece of crystal porcelain or alabaster    Crowds surround loudspeakers hanging from the lampposts    Listening to the murder mystery    Meanwhile someone's hiding in the classroom    Forging books of history    never mind there's a good film showing tonight   where they hang everyone everybody who can read and write    oh that could never happen here but then again it might
