Panorama

(album: The Best Years Of Our Lives - 1975)

Murder follows me like a leech from sunset
Hard on my heels to the midnight beach, oh yeah, hu hu hu
Multitudes of every skin around the glowing sparks
They begin to sing, oh yeah, hu hu hu
Everybody is watching the dancer, all the way from Barcelona
Teddy boys are farming, it's all a little alarming

I felt forty-five and I was barely alive, oh...
I saw a human tribe and I was terrified, oh...

Cross-legged and nonchalant
I try to make the sermon read back to front, oh oh, hu hu yeah
Laughing all the time this speech goes like a dream
And all of us hits the streets, oh yeah yeah, hu hu hu hu
Everybody screams: 'Follow the leader' and begging now for food from the feeder
Murder taps my shoulder, I feel the air getting colder

Now I felt forty-five and I was barely alive, oh...
I saw a human tribe and I was terrified, oh...

I felt forty-five and I was barely alive, oh...
I saw a human tribe and I was oh terrified, oh...

Simply now it's a matter of time
Everything is loose but soon it will be, soon it will be fine, oh yeah, hu hu hu
Giving out whiskey and rules
We're just dangling our feet sitting here by the pool, oh yeah, hu hu hu hu
Everybody is calling me something, all the time we're looking for something
Teddy boys in armour threatening my whole panorama

And I felt forty-five and I was barely alive, oh...
I saw a human tribe and I was terrified, oh...

Yeah I felt forty-five and I was barely alive, oh...
I saw a human tribe, I was so terrified, oh...
