lyrics

Well I was snakin' my way down to Wilson's Prom
Prehistoric landmass, freshly woven canvas.
With my hands out of pocket, time out of my mind,
I didn't need a swivel chair to stop and recline.

Well isn't it funny the sight of actual stars can hit you so hard,
Feels like you're seeing stars?
Cos the smoke that obscures them's just air from a spark,
And the mirrors that reflect this are actually glass.

The industrial front-line has spread like a fault-line,
Every cunt with a camper van thinks that he's outside.
Did I mention the entrance? The measure of worth:
It's $12.50 a night just to witness the actual Earth.

'Cos we're living in a snowglobe
And you can't escape the dome.
Copyrighted all the rainbows
And kept the pot of gold.

Well I was skatin' my way down a woolwoths aisle,
leaning on a galvanised chrome frame, entered through a turnstile,
Stupefied, dazed, bombarded in the maze by fluoro lights,
By advertising for easy bites, ready meals, nylon tights,
Cures for cellulite, chemical pastes to make your teeth white,
Spoon-fed solutions for all my non-existent gripes.

The canned oxygen laced with urges to buy and diet
All my needs plastic-wrapped at eye level.
Why fight it?


Once you see through the glass and the architecture
Sonny shake that globe 'til the dome surrenders.
Gotta pass through the glass and the architecture
Sonny shake that globe 'til the dome surrenders.
They'll sing 'Dome Sweet Dome' as they're coming to getcha
So look out while you can on the actual vista.
It's a secret son, that's why we say it in a whisper.
