It's been a while since I've seen your face It's been a while since I've walked this place I see the monkeys riding on their bikes Racing through the impossible night
You say you're feeling like a new tree Man they'll cut you from limb to limb Pick your pocket with such delight Shake it to the right Shake it in the light
Oh can't you see the glitter Oh can't you see the glitter
Genius stalking in new shoes Have you got WTO blues Dust of diamonds Making you sneeze Kids on rollers ready for Running through the junkyards Breezing through the halls Racing through the malls Walking through the walls They'll strip your mind Just for fun Quoth the raven Yum yum yum
Oh can't you see the glitter Oh can't you see the glitter
Children children everywhere Selling souls for souvenirs They've been sold out like as not Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat
Oh can't you see the glitter Oh can't you see the glitter Oh can't you see the glitter Oh can't you see the glitter all that glitters all that glitters They'll trade you up Trade you down Your body a commodity Our sacred stage Has been defaced Replaced to grace The marketplace Dow is jonesing at the bit 42nd Disney Street Ragged hearts unraveling Look out kids The gleam the gleam All that glitters Is not all that glitters Is not all that glitters
