Strontium 90 - Towers Tumbled lyrics

Towers tumbled All the buildings crumbled Volcanoes rumbled Insurance salesman mumbled Ballerinas bumbled All the heroes stumbled Politicians fumbled Suddenly a hand held out And like a ticket tout It was a chart It was a card And these are your instructions And what he offered in his hand It was a diagram, a master plan A secret plan for your deduction Crystals shatter All the singers chatter While the drums just clatter Your silken raiment's tatter While the poets natter Oh, it doesn't matter Please ignore the latter Settle back, you're growing fatter Oh, you know you've no conception Well, you're far out in space I see you trying to trace a design Of your heart on the stars On the open ocean Like an open book See the feeble fumble For a better look See the sheep shake In their sleep wake Not an earthquake Or a d**h wake And all the while Through the testing and the trials She smiles Eternity smiles
