Lyrics
The Day the World Turned Dayglo
I clambered over mounds and mounds
Of polystyrene foam
Then fell into a swimming pool
Filled with fairy snow
And watched
The world turn day-glo, you know, you know
The world turned day-glo, you know
Uh oh
I wrenched the nylon curtains back
As far as they would go
Then peered through perspex window panes
At the acrylic road
And watched
The world turn day-glo, you know, you know
The world turned day-glo, you know
Uh oh
I drove my polypropolene
Car on wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun
And watched
The world turn day-glo, you know, you know
The world turned day-glo, you know
Uh oh
The world turned day-glo, you know, you know
The world turned day-glo, you know
Uh oh
The X-rays were penetrating
Through the latex breeze
Synthetic fibre see-through leaves
Fell from the rayon trees
The day
The world turned day-glo, you know, you know
The world turned day-glo, you know, you know
The world turned day-glo, you know, you know
The world turned day-glo, you know
Uh oh
