World Serious

Eating ice chrome at the spaceball game

Between the China Reds and the New World Braves

The grandstand swayed as the organ played its soulful anthem

And the old announcers voice rang through the night in Gotham

 

Where on the street two lovers meet, so discrete

Acting cool but talking cruel about their fools

He’s a brute, she’s a mute, it don’t compute

Unaware that standing there is a gun cocked to shoot

 

Eating ice chrome at the spaceball game

Instead of the world of such specifics

We speak like freaks

The fate of kings, keen the beastly pipers

Drums and cymbals, stupid with ciphers

 

Eating ice chrome at the spaceball game

Between the China Reds and the New World Braves

The grandstand swayed as the organ played its soulful anthem

And the old announcers voice rang through the night in Gotham
