Oh! you pretty things

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes,
shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I´ve made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they´re
here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me,
no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found
by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though
they´re here to stay
[CHORUS:]
Oh You Pretty Things
Don´t you know you´re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don´t you know you´re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
([second time:] Let me say it again)
You gotta make way
for the Homo Superior
Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don´t kid yourself they belong to you
They´re the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We´ve finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they´re here to stay
[CHORUS]
Put on some clothes,
shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I´ve made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they´re
here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me,
no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found
by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though
they´re here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
