The Universal

Oh I’m living in a noisy neighbourhood,
Writing words with a cruel pen,
And I play my guitar to the radio,
With a very, very shaky hand;
(Hear me singing): “shooby doo wop shooby doo wah”
Oh my life feels so empty now
Living here in this bourgeois town,
The T.V. news and their dumbassed views,
All I think of is getting out –

CHORUS:
Oh mama there is no shame,
To be running to that great escape,
There is still a little life in this world,
Come on and dance to the Universal,
Living with the Universal,
Talking ‘bout the Universal,
Mister you’re a part of this world,
Come let’s dance to the Universal.

Now Leonardo he’s got plenty to say,
When he’s got his friends around him,
If I could get him in the light of day,
I’d like to turn him upside down, yeah,
I’m goin’ up to the north coastline
The girls are pretty and the weather’s fine,
I’m tired of fightin’ and I’m tired of trying,
But I’ll walk the wire for you one more time.

Oh mama there is no shame,
To be running to that great escape,
There is still a little life in this world,
Come on and dance to the Universal,
Living with the Universal,
Talking ‘bout the Universal,
Mister you’re a part of this world,
Come on let’s dance to the Universal.
