It's a sordid affair,
Did you know that all your friends were there?
All these courtiers and clowns,
And everybody knew what was going down.
And if it rains upon your big parade,
Then I can tell you what I told you before...
You're taking me up to the seventh floor,
I'm a-taken aback as you slam the door,
you're so contradictory,
So take it easy Emily
You say your art sets you free,
But you've no discernible skills that I can see,
Well they say it's a crime,
But I feel that I'm the one here who's doing time.
Because I'm tired of all your platitudes,
I can tell you what I told you before...
You're taking me up to the seventh floor,
I'm a-taken aback as you slam the door,
you're so contradictory,
So take it easy Emily
All your juggling and schemes,
Will put you off your balance, or so it seems,
Even all the kings men,
Couldn't put you back together again
And if all the balls come tumbling down,
I can tell you what I told you before...
You're taking me up to the seventh floor,
I'm a-taken aback as you slam the door,
you're so contradictory,
So take it easy Emily

Well I'm sitting down here in a 10 foot room,
Gonna stream a lot of TV in the afternoon,
In a lockdown
We're in a lockdown, honey
I got nowhere to go and nothing to say,
It's a miracle if I make it through to Saturday
In a lockdown
We're in a lockdown
You can't be where you want to be...
You gotta knick, knack, paddywhack,
Keep it off the streets, Jack,
Give it up or give it back
In a lockdown,
In a lockdown baby....
Well I'm a sitting down here in a 5 foot room,
Cos the walls get closer by the middle of the afternoon,
Lockdown,
Talking about a lockdown baby,
You gotta keep sharp,
stay ship shape,
don't deviate,
don't believe a word that the papers say
In a lockdown,
In a lockdown baby....
You can't be where you want to be...
I got a lover on the phone,
I got nothing to say,
Cos every other day is like every other day
In a lockdown
Talking about a lockdown, baby
In a lockdown
In a lockdown

First nobody knew what was wrong,
Life would go on like before,
Everywhere people would say:
"An empire like this cannot fall".
Numbers and symbols entwined,
But who reads the signals?
Hari Seldon tells the future,
As the world decays,
Hari Seldon,
Can you help us find another way?
Find another way?
The clues were all there to be seen,
The cracks in the pavements and walls,
Still nobody else would believe,
How slowly society falls,
Numbers and symbols entwined,
But who reads the signals?
Hari Seldon tells the future,
As the world decays,
Hari Seldon,
Can you help us find another way?
Find another way?
Soon as the exodus starts,
People and plans on the move,
Nobody seems to agree,
What sort of life we would choose.
Numbers and symbols entwined,
But who reads the signals?
Hari Seldon tells the future,
As the world decays,
Hari Seldon,
Can you help us find another way?
Hari Seldon tells the future,
As the world decays,
Hari Seldon,
Can you help us find another way?
Find another way?
