Stay awake to break the habit
See the Buddha on the second floor
Wasted days you've come to pass
Backseat on the 79
So go, I know you would not stay

Sing in praise of Jackson Crowther
No excuse to be so callous
See the French kids by the door
It wasn't true but anyway
Watch your step along the arch of glass

Pollination yellow cab
Coronation rickshaw grab
Racist dreams you should not have
Dress yourself in bleeding Madras
I'll ride across the park
Charm your way across the Khyber Pass

Up one more flight

So go, I know you would not stay
No excuse to be so callous
Dress yourself in bleeding Madras

Sing in praise of Jackson Crowther
Stay awake to break the habit
Charm your way across the Khyber Pass
Watch your step along the arch of

You walk up the stairs
It wasn't true but anyway
