Stupefaction - Graham Parker

The sun is burning it never changes

The people look up with nothing in their eyeballs

They stare at billboards as if for guidance

There’s something wrong here I can’t but my finger on

Same thing same way everyday stupefaction

Oh yeah

Drive out on sunset but nothing’s moving

The lights are green or is that my imagination

The people sit there

Cameras without action

I can’t see the point but I see the attraction

Same thing same way everyday

Stupefaction

Oh yeah

We’re going to get clear outa this some day

Because the comfort’s so appealing

The bodies so revealing

Just get to feeling like a wheel without traction

Stupefaction

Oh yeah

I ask the landlord how much you making

Don’t you get tired of just taking and taking?

I ask the neighbour why are you so stupid?

Giving us those dirty looks and tryin to murder cupid

Same thing same way everyday

Stupefaction

Ah yeah

We’re going to get clear outa this some day

Because the comfort’s so appealing

The bodies so revealing

Just get to feeling like a wheel without traction

Stupefaction

Oh yeah

Turn up the TV turn up the radio

Turn up the volume nothing seems to matter

Lay back and slumber bring out the number

Ask the operator what spell we are under its the

Same thing same way everyday

Stupefaction

Ah yeah

Stupid stupid stupid hey hey hey

Same thing same way everyday
