Robert Fripp - A Wonderful Day in a One-Way World lyrics

[Verse 1] Saturday is shopping day and I drive my car But there's no place to park it No respect for supermen in the supermarket I guess there must be trouble but I've not been alerted Looking round the store, it was all deserted And I'm stranded here with my empty basket So full of questions but nowhere to ask it [Chorus] By the one way out, strange voice shouts "Don't let that good man out!" "Have a wonderful day in our one-way world One way, one day Have a wonderful day in our one-way world One way, one day One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind." [Verse 2] There's an old man on the floor so I summon my charm I say, "Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?" He says "Yeah, I been selling off eternal youth They all got afraid, because I'm the living proof My name is Einstein, do you know time is a curve?" I said, "Stop, old man! You've got a nerve Because there's only one rule that I observe Time is money, and money I serve." [Chorus]
