Lonesome Yuppie Blues

Free from hunger, pain and strife A cosy cul-de-sac, Within an hour's drive/Away from nine to five Babies bouncing round our dancing feet Smiling neighbours in a friendly street We saw/see our garden bloom - the food so fresh and sweet
 * Original || Update ||
 * We sought/love the simple quiet life

Come around we'd love to have you stay No finer place to start a brand new day It doesn't matter what you have to say We're only a phone call away

I sometimes think about the life we knew Caught in the rat-race, in the human zoo The crazy mad-mouse we rode from bust to boom Now as we lie inside our bubbling spa I think of how our life was once so hard The old man's money didn't seem to go that far

We work at home now in our tax free rooms Craft work on electronic loom And we'd really love to see you soon Because it sometimes seems like we're living in a cartoon

I remember all our well laid plans A moral vision merged with healthy glands A little piece of earth where we could make our stand Now every day I work away inside I send my labour out through space and time I feel like some new man, but I don't know what kind

As I walk around the neighbourhood I shake a hand or two I smile and nod We could make friends in fact I know we would If there was just one person I felt that I understood

In the middle of a golden dream I catch the echo of a timeless scream I haven't got the time to wonder what it means As I eat another wholesome meal I find I'm thinking of some high ideal Caught between the perfect souffle and the way that I feel

You're all welcome to our happy home We've kept a space to rest your weary bones Just turn left after the broken phone We're waiting for your call heaven knows || We sought the simple quiet life Leave office politics and strategic lies Where we could deeply breathe under an open sky ||
