I walk into the corner of my room, see my friends in high places 
I don't know which is which and whom is whom, they've stolen each other's faces 
Janet is there with her high-hatting hair full of bedroom feathers 
Janet is known to make dead men groan in any kind of weathers 
I crawl over to her, I say hey baby, I say hey Janet 
You are the one, you are the sun and I'm your dutyfull planet 
But she ain't down with any of that, she's heard that [bad word] before 
I say ah ha, oh yeah, you're right, cause I see Betty X standing by the door 
With more news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
And it's getting strange in here 
Yeah, it gets stranger every year 
More news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
Now, Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosome 
Her hair is like the wine dark sea, on which [bad word] home 
I say hey baby, I say hey Betty X (I lean close up to her throat) 
This light you're carrying is like a lamp, hanging from a distant boat 
It is my light, said Betty X, Betty X says this light ain't yours 
And so much wind blew through her words that I went rolling down the hall 
For more news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
And it's getting strange in here 
Yeah, it gets stranger every year 
More news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
I turn another corner, I go down a corridor and I see this guy 
He must be about 100 foot tall and he only has one eye 
He asks me for my autograph, I write nobody and then 
I wrap myself up in my woolly coat and blind him with my pen 
Cause someone must have put something in my drink, everything getting strange looking 
Half the people had turned into squealing pigs, the other half were cooking 
Let me out of here, I cried, and I went pushing past 
And I saw miss Polly singing with some girls, I cried strap me to the mast 
For more news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
And it's getting strange in here 
Yeah, it gets stranger every year 
More news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
Then a black girl with no clothes on danced across the room 
We charted the progress of the planets around that boogie-wongie moon 
I called her my nubian princess, I gave her some sweet-back bad [bad word] jive 
I spent the next seven years between her legs pining for my wife 
But by and by it all went wrong, I felt all washed-up on the shore 
She stared down at me from up in the storm as I sobbed upon the floor 
For more news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
And don't it make you feel alone 
Don't it make you wanna get right-on home 
More news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
 [bad word] Alina with two black eyes, she's given herself a transfusion 
She's filled herself with panda blood to avoid all the confusion 
I said the sun rises and falls with you, and various things about love 
But a rising violence in me cut all my circuits off 
Well, Alina, she starts screaming, her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves 
Her extinction was nearly absolute when she turned her back on me 
For more news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
And it's getting strange in here 
Yeah, it gets stranger every year 
More news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
I bumped bang crash into Deanna hanging pretty in the door frame 
Alle the horrors which have befallen me, well, Deanna is to blame 
Every time I see you, babe, you make me feel so all alone 
And I wept my face into her dress long after she'd gone home 
With more news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
And don't it make you feel alone 
Don't it make you wanna get right back home 
More news from nowhere 
More news from nowhere 
Don't it make you feel so sad, don't the [bad word] to your feet 
To think that everything you do today, tomorrow is obsolete? 
Technology and women and little children too
