Oh! You Pretty Things

[Verse 1]

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, what do I see?

A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me

[Pre-Chorus]

All the nightmares came today

And it looks as though they're here to stay

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

All the strangers came today

And it looks as though they're here to stay

[Chorus]

Oh, you Pretty Things (Oh, you Pretty Things)

Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?

Oh, you Pretty Things (Oh, you Pretty Things)

Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?

Let me make it plain

You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

[Verse 3]

Look out at your children

See their faces in golden rays

Don't kid yourself, they belong to you

They're the start of the coming race

The Earth is a bitch, we've finished our news

Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use

[Pre-Chorus]

All the strangers came today

And it looks as though they're here to stay

[Chorus]

Oh, you Pretty Things (Oh, you Pretty Things)

Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?

Oh, you Pretty Things (Oh, you Pretty Things)

Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?

Let me make it plain

Gotta make way for the Homo Superior
