Writing On The Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down a tunnel, in a tube, on the floor, knocked down by booze
Busy man has blown his fuse while crossword people look for clues
I say sir, get your nose out the paper, take a good look at what's going down
Get clued into the shape of, the shape of things to come
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Reaching out for your calls
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Did you look for your cause?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Life, I'm told's a compromise, lethargy in disguise
Exclusive by the fine-toothed parts, stuck in the mud before they start
They say sir, wouldn't you rather be on top of the world
As opposed to always travelling underneath the ground?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Reaching out for your calls
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Did you look for your cause?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
La-la-la-la ...
I say sir, get your nose out the paper, take a good look at what's going on
Get clued into the shape of, the shape of things to come
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Reaching out for your calls
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Did you look for your cause?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Reaching out for your calls
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Did you look for your cause?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
