lyrics

everybody's a comedian
the secret police
or g-d forbid both of them
we corned bentham's market
now we're on the run
driving down the prices
on the central reservation

it's cheap and abundant
it's abundantly clear
sleeping beauty drowning in the serpentine's
the only original thing

to ever happen round here

everybody's an author or saint
a curator, or priest
of some future renown
now the author's lying cold
the cops are asking questions
the saint and the priest
have been run out of town

it's cheap and abundant
it's abundantly clear
sleeping beauty drowning in the serpentine's
the only original thing

to ever happen round here

everybody's gathered
in the public square
the market's postponed
to circle the mast
bentham's in his tower
all is right with the world
they've waited too long
for the first to come last

it's cheap and abundant
it's abundantly clear
sleeping beauty drowning in the serpentine's
the only original thing

to ever happen round here

sleeping beauty drowning in the serpentine's
the only original thought

that I've had all year
