I walk into the corner of my room see my friends in high places. I don't know which is which and whom is whom they've stolen each other's faces. Janet is there with her high-hatting hair full of bedroom feathers. Janet is known to make dead men groan in any kind of weathers. I crawl over to her I say hey baby I say hey Janet. You are the one you are the sun and I'm your dutyfull planet. But she ain't down with any of that she's heard that shit before. I say ah ha oh yeah you're right cause I see Betty X standing by the door. With more news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. And it's getting strange in here. Yeah it gets stranger every year. More news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. Now Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosome. Her hair is like the wine dark sea on which sailors come home. I say hey baby I say hey Betty X (I lean close up to her throat). This light you're carrying is like a lamp hanging from a distant boat. It is my light said Betty X Betty X says this light ain't yours. And so much wind blew through her words that I went rolling down the hall. For more news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. And it's getting strange in here. Yeah it gets stranger every year. More news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. I turn another corner I go down a corridor and I see this guy. He must be about 100 foot tall and he only has one eye. He asks me for my autograph I write nobody and then. I wrap myself up in my woolly coat and blind him with my pen. Cause someone must have put something in my drink everything getting strange looking. Half the people had turned into squealing pigs the other half were cooking. Let me out of here I cried and I went pushing past. And I saw miss Polly singing with some girls I cried strap me to the mast. For more news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. And it's getting strange in here. Yeah it gets stranger every year. More news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. Then a black girl with no clothes on danced across the room. We charted the progress of the planets around that boogie-wongie moon. I called her my nubian princess I gave her some sweet-back bad-ass jive. I spent the next seven years between her legs pining for my wife. But by and by it all went wrong I felt all washed-up on the shore. She stared down at me from up in the storm as I sobbed upon the floor. For more news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. And don't it make you feel alone. Don't it make you wanna get right-on home. More news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. Here comes Alina with two black eyes she's given herself a transfusion. She's filled herself with panda blood to avoid all the confusion. I said the sun rises and falls with you and various things about love. But a rising violence in me cut all my circuits off. Well Alina she starts screaming her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves. Her extinction was nearly absolute when she turned her back on me. For more news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. And it's getting strange in here. Yeah it gets stranger every year. More news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. I bumped bang crash into Deanna hanging pretty in the door frame. Alle the horrors which have befallen me well Deanna is to blame. Every time I see you babe you make me feel so all alone. And I wept my face into her dress long after she'd gone home. With more news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. And don't it make you feel alone. Don't it make you wanna get right back home. More news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. Don't it make you feel so sad don't the blood rush to your feet. To think that everything you do today tomorrow is obsolete?. Technology and women and little children too. Don't it make you feel blue? Don't it make you feel blue?. For more news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. And don't it make you feel alone. Don't it make you wanna get right back home. More news from nowhere. More news from nowhere. Well I've gotta say. Goodbye goodbye goodbye
