Runaround on the Underground

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]

I'm waiting at the bus stop for a double-decker ride

Supermarket checkout boy finds his way inside

A shady looking character, his beady eyes on me

I slip into a window seat, and then pretend to read

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]

It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world

(The hardest thing is holding on)

(Holding on and take the strain)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]

They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed

And they ain't gonna get me

I'm building up my colours of resistance

It's a runaround on the underground

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]

A cybernetic shopper with a slight sadistic grin

Pulls a zipper on her sleeping bag; shuts herself within

A triple quilted chrysalis waiting for the sales

A bargain basement butterfly going off the rails

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]

It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world

(The hardest thing is holding on)

(Holding on and take the strain)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]

They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed

They ain't gonna get me

I'm building up my colours of resistance

It's a runaround on the underground

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]

It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world

(The hardest thing is holding on)

(Holding on and take the strain)

(Take the strain)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]

They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed

They ain't gonna get me

I'm building up my colours of resistance

(The hardest thing is holding on)

(Holding on and take the strain)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]

They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed

But they ain't gonna get me

I'm building up my colours of resistance

(The hardest thing is holding on)

(Holding on and take the strain)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]

They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed

But they ain't gonna get me

I'm building up my colours of resistance

(The hardest thing...)
