"Well what's the harm? It's good clean fun
Why don't you just go on and have another one?
When there's hanky-panky in the boardroom
Wooly-bully on the farm, well, what's the harm?
It's quite alright - I mean to say, tomorrow's just another day"
Oh, but in the morning,
Oh, but in the morning light
Will you still feel as fine?
Will you still need to trade day for night?
In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
In the country of the sheep, they call him Cyclops
And the quality of mind is such a tenuous thing
That here you need it like a blind man needs eye drops
Get out of that back room
This vacuum, it attracts you, but in fact
You just don't know what it is
You're being sapped of everything
You once valued so highly
Will you still feel as strong?
Will you still long for weakness to come?
It's a Chemical World
It's the Chemical World
Not a candidate ever fails
Though you search for the Holy Grail
You're not going to find it
In the Chemical World
A sleeper train, you can't escape
Fast overnight, the ticker-tape
Oh, but in the morning
Oh, but in the morning haze
Will the market have turned?
Will there be no more days left to trade
In the Chemical World?
It's the Chemical World
And from the moment that it's embraced
It's the Chemical World
Here the diamonds turn to paste
It's the Chemical World
Yeah, you think you'll look so pretty
It's gonna blow up in your face
"It's just the time, so slow to pass
It's just the drug, it doesn't last"
