mccully/mackay - the lost chorus lyrics

run like a river or a tap that’s dripping
slowly like a waterfall
flowing down like cake icing
softly melting in the bowl
feeling something scurrying around inside your head
like a jingle flows
hurrying here, hurrying there
round and round the windmill goes

eyes are looking down at you
through the lens of a microscope
watching enzymes chase their tail
in a petri dish that’s shaped like hope
comic strips and reality grips
but the choice is something no+one bought
rolling pennies through your fingers
magic tricks that come up short

who would have thought that the things you bought
would last you through the apocalypse?
go to the store, beg for more
you’re the punchline no+one gets
the drone of the bombers overhead
and fire comes down like napalm rain
the weatherman lied and you almost died
but for the coat that shields your pain
as you stand at the sea looking back at the city
nothing is left but walter mitty
he gives you a wave but nothing is said
but n0body sees, cos it’s all in your head
and you take to the water, avoiding the slaughter
as the angry crowd hunts you down
as you slip below you start to frown
can you swim or will you drown?

but the national rescue comes to your aid
cos they’re still working night and day
no+one told them work is a sin
and they fill your lungs with oxygen
as they jump and they pump, get the water out
and you breathe again with a final shout
and they celebrate with wine and a song
and a s+xy mermaid comes on strong
as you stagger and sway like a brontosaurus
there’s still no sign of the chorus

still no sign of the chorus
still no sign of the chorus

after days of drifting like a sack
you realise you just can’t make it back
but the visions are coming like a cheetah running
and you try to keep, but you fall asleep
and your teacher says you’ll fail your grade
cos the fees you owed never got paid
your accountant ran off with the money
but you had so little, it was really funny
then you’re up on stage things get hazy
screaming girls all going crazy
the fab four singing i am the walrus
still no sign of the chorus
still no sign of the chorus
still no sign of the chorus

as the song winds down it’s near the end
and the search has driven you round the bend
your lawyers scream “you can’t afford us”
there’s still no sign of the chorus

still no sign of the chorus
that’s right
still no sign of the chorus
i’ve looked everywhere
still no sign of the chorus
wait, no
still no sign of the chorus
you’re sh+tting me
