It's been a while since I've seen your face
Been a while since I've walked this place
I see the monkeys riding on their bikes
Racing through the impossible night You say you're feeling like a new tree
Oh, man they'll cut you from limb to limb
Pick your pockets with delight
Shake it to the right, shake it in the light Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes Genius stalking in new shoes
Have you got WTO blues
Dust of diamonds
Making you sneeze
Kids on rollers ready for running Through the junkyards
Breezing through the halls
Racing through the malls
And walking through the walls They'll strip your mind
Just for fun
Quoth the raven
Yum, yum, yum Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes Children, children everywhere
Selling souls for souvenirs
They've sold them out like as not
Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh, can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes They'll trade you up, trade you down
Your body a commodity
Our sacred stage has been defaced
Replaced to grace the marketplace Dow is jonesing at the bit
42nd Disney Street
Ragged hearts unraveling
Look out kids the gleam the gleam
Is not, is not
