Sax in the City

[Intro] Sometimes I just lay back and float away-ay I spoke to Serene who wears the purple trousers Xylophone, kaleidoscoping, so spontaneous (Xylophoning away, Xylophoning away) I tell you she's just great (Xylophoning away) I live in a house by the roadside And the cars pass by every day I get so stir-crazy And it's so frustrating What's it about? We're stuck in a landslide, and it's passing you by So go approach a total stranger Ask them, "Tell me something interesting" Ride my bike right through this city maze The sax is in the city and Vesuvius is waking from its dormant phase Let loose an eruption Well there's tins and cans and mums and prams and fags and rags and suits and ties and stripes and spots Uh, tell me where you come from And that man who wears fluorescent jacket sees you everyday holding your lollipop Tell me all your secrets And I'm curious of your lives, I'm eavesdropping, fine I know it's not right, but how can I The fire engine's screaming, the rest of us are dreaming The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping Stop me at the red light Stop me at the red light Stop me at the red light Stop me at the red light At the red light, stop me at the red light The city's never sleeping All these people stuck inside their daily daze Uh, tell me what you're thinking Headlights, no light besides the city haze The city's exploded, the people have died Half-price double-glazing on all of your eyes Get off your device and concentrate The car's about to hit you! The fire engine's screaming, the rest of us are dreaming The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping (Stop me at the red light) (Stop me at the red light) (Stop me at the red light) (Stop me at the red light) Fire engines screaming, the rest of us are dreaming The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping
