There's a chill in morning 'til sparks ignite For the one who'll make it tonight There's a flag to show his regard for right And it waves as he's set alight No tired steps on the dance floor The change is more than a dream And through this miracle of ours We watch him cause a scene It's a common ritual all eyes alight With the fame of earthly demise Thirty seconds later the supper chime Turn it down and wait for prime time The screen that glows all around you An image, one we've all seen But even if there were sounds there Don't wonder what they mean (You will be right on the nail) Cause a scene (You will be right on the nail) Cause a scene, and it won't matter anyway Through another door at a similar time Find the words strewn about the night While the piles of paper, the foul blue light Wage a war, the radio's tired Those tidy steps on the dance floor Change is oddly a dream Through the fragments and your snores You watch them cause a scene (You will be right on the nail) Cause a scene (You will be right on the nail) Cause a scene, and it won't matter anyway Fast asleep, your head draped in the front page The droppings of the world lining your cage Everywhere there's a war going on Are you wasting the bulk of your time? All those tired steps all around you To change is to change your jeans A harder look might arouse you If there's action and lots of tease (You will be right on the nail) Cause a scene (You will be right on the nail) Cause a scene, and it won't matter anyway Cause a scene (You will be right on the nail) It's all you've dreamed (You will be right on the nail) Cause a scene, and it don't matter anyway There's a chill in morning, all eyes shut tight For the ones who make it tonight
