Lyrics
Welcome to Anytown
now go home
We don't like you
We can tell you're not well
and laid up
We don't need that
Welcome to Anytown
now go back
We've got one just like you
And I think we have a spare here
in the back room
What can you say about compassion
It's only right when it's in fashion
Nightmares, daymares abound
When you hit the ground
So much for real, so salutary
We're over this, a sanctuary
of nightmares, daymares astound
When you're falling down
Then you'll come around
Right here in Anytown
things are safe
We all like it that way
And we take our turn
At being lord for a day
Nothing to say about compassion
It only works when it's in fashion
nightmares, daymares abound
when you hit the ground
So much for real, so salutary
We're over this, a sanctuary
of nightmares, daymares astound
When you'll come around
Fishing while you drown
When you can't look away
from that hole
I'll say I told you so
There's something about this that makes it better
donning your gown and your black letter
So much better
What can you say about compassion
It's only right when it's in fashion
Nightmares, daymares abound
When you hit the ground
So much for real, so salutary
We're over this, a sanctuary
of nightmares, daymares astound
When you're falling down
